Atypical project needs PCI Contractor’s TLC for Health & Safety update

Project Overview:

A University in Boston had an alley area in the rear of one of their properties used for t   rash & recycling storage for that block of buildings.  The surrounding fencing had broken poles several places. The fencing itself had been damage.  Silt and rubble had built up in the area, causing flooding after rain due to poor drainage and the build up around the foundation.

Some excessive trash spreading due to the compromised fencing 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.

 

Safety First:

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.

 

Excavate, Clean & Repair

PCI Contractor Specialists rose to the challenge of this multi-faceted project.

Working within the customer’s timeframe, 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 better 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
• Broken fence poles were replaced
• New fencing was installed in areas it had been damaged
• Fence doors were cut and welded to accommodate personnel
• Masonry repairs were done to the brick work in the chimney and building as needed

 

The customer was happy with the results of the project, PCI Contracting renewed the area and brought it within safety & health codes.
