Foundation Peers for Metal Warehouse

Facility Type: Shipyard crane maintenance warehouse

Project / Problem Description: Set and pour foundation support peers for a new metal shop building. This project was located on a working dock with limited space for equipment and a short timetable. Due to high soil moisture peers had to be drilled and completely poured within minutes to avoid shaft cave in. 

Solution:  Onsite project managers worked with subcontractors to ensure coordination of concrete deliveries and drill rig operation. This gave the crew the time it needed to properly set rebar in the shafts and align anchor bolts to blueprint specifications. This project was completed ahead of time with no accidents and under the customer’s budget.
