Challenge
To add the micro piles, it was necessary to drill eleven 12” diameter core holes 6’ deep in reinforced concrete. Removing the ID Fan Motor foundations required cutting the blocks into sections sized for removal. During a previous maintenance outage, the core drilling took 30 days to complete. This time Bluegrass was hired, and the core holes and foundation cutting was done in 7 days.
This was an uncomplicated job, doing what Bluegrass does best: mobilizing men and equipment to efficiently complete the work on schedule so the project was able to progress. Using diamond wire saws and core drills, we successfully drilled the holes and cut the foundation into blocks, completing the project on time and with no safety incidents.
