I-90  FIX, Little Falls, NY

SCOPE OF WORK:
The throughway wanted the rock slope stabilized back to the foundation for the radio tower, without impeding traffic.

CHALLENGE:
To fragment the rock so that it could be dug without breaking it to a degree that it would slump into the roadway.

OUTCOME:
We delivered a stable face through careful pre-splitting, excellent drilling parameters and minimal fragmentation.

SCHEDULE:
The MD&B team finished 30% (20 days) ahead of schedule.

SUMMARY:
The throughway geotechnical experts knew what was important, and were pleased that we could provide that end product.

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, Hingham Shipyard, MA

SCOPE OF WORK:
All roads, utilities, and foundations for a cluster community placed in an abandoned shipyard.

CHALLENGE:

• Drill and blast in close proximity to major retail and residential users.
• The schedule demanded greater production than is usually associated with work this close to abutters.

OUTCOME:
Fragmentation and production allowed the contractors to meet all their goals.

SCHEDULE:
Built on the customer’s aggressive schedule.

SUMMARY:
Continuous blast design modifications encourage improvements.

ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND, Stamford, CT

SCOPE OF WORK:
The location was situated between I95 and all the hi-rises in Stamford. We were charged with blasting for the foundations with stable side slopes because urban work didn’t allow ramps into the site.

CHALLENGE:
To have sound rock at all the footing pads.  This required many different elevations and geometries for the foundation layouts.

OUTCOME:
The outcome was a successful project.

SCHEDULE:
The schedule was met.

SUMMARY:
Differing foundation requirements demand detailed blasting methods to avoid over-breakage or high rock.
