Key Challenges
Site logistics and safety were key to this project. The site was surrounded by an active country club with members performing multiple activities. We had to install approximately 800 feet of Storm Drain through an active golf course without disrupting the green or players.
All deep excavations for the utilities, in-ground pool, and building foundations were compromised by large boulders. We had to use hydraulic splitting techniques to remove the boulders as blasting was not allowed. This process slowed down our excavation tremendously.
We had to remove and re-install vintage paving stones to tie-in the new water line. There were no replacements for the paving stones, so we had to be very careful not to break any.
