PCI Contractor Specialists (PCI) completed a multi-faceted project for a university in the city. The university had an alley area in the rear of one of their properties used for trash/recycling storage. The fencing and poles had been damaged and broken. Silt and rubble had built up, causing flooding due to poor drainage and the build up around the foundation. Excessive trash spreading had attracted pests. Masonry and the chimney base on the adjacent building had begun to wear and crack. The area had become a safety and health hazard.
PCI was able to do the following to solve the customer's dilemma.
* Excess rubble and silt was removed to a depth of one foot.
* Larger, dense grade rock was put in its place to create a drainage bed
* Wire mesh and rebar was installed as a framework for the cement
* A new concrete pad was poured at a slightly higher elevation. The pad was given a sloped apron to improve drainage
* Poles and fencing was replaced
* Fence doors were cut and welded to accommodate personnel
* Masonry repairs were done to the brick work in the chimney.
PCI renewed the area and brought it within safety and health codes.
Prior to the work commencement, Dig-Safe was contacted or assessment of the power & utility lines in the area. The project was reviewed for any necessary work permits.
