Project Scope
Supplied and installed pre-cast concrete blocks to create material loading bays.
Materials Used
Pre-cast concrete blocks
Challenges & Solutions
- Working on new asphalt while handling heavy concrete blocks required extra care to avoid surface damage. A rubber track excavator was used to protect the asphalt while placing the blocks.
Results & Outcomes
- Five material loading bays were created
Technical Specifications
Approximately 60+ pre-cast concrete blocks were set, stacked two courses high.
Project Scope
The site was excavated for the concrete footing, and a reinforced concrete slab was poured. A pre-cast concrete wall was then set in place with proper drainage and tie-back systems installed. The area was backfilled and compacted using the right materials, with drainage and hydrostatic pressure kept top of mind.
Materials Used
Concrete, pre-cast concrete blocks, weeping tile, geotechnical tieback mesh, 3/4 clear gravel, topsoil, 3/4 crusher run
Challenges & Solutions
- The site had limited space for staging materials, and the hillside was steep and unstable. Working in the city core also meant moving and operating large equipment in a tight area with limited access.
Results & Outcomes
- The existing parking lot was expanded by nearly 70%, giving the client significantly more usable space.
Technical Specifications
A 50 linear foot pre-cast concrete wall was installed, stacked five courses high.
