Scope of Work
Wayne Brothers tackled multiple portions of this project’s scope.
We performed excavation, mass grading, and utilities on the sitework side. During the erosion management phase, we constructed seven permanent ponds. Mass grading operations required us to move over 10,000 cubic yards of earth per day. At the same time, our crews dealt with mass blasting and rock crushing happening on site. Wayne Brothers stayed after grading was completed to backfill foundations.
Our concrete group was responsible for heavy foundations, walls, and piers. They installed foundations, equipment foundations, slab-on-grade foundations, slab-on-metal-deck foundations, and walls.
Unique Challenges
Wayne Brothers faced a logistical nightmare: a creek bisected the site, preventing our team (and other trades) from accessing the northern and southern halves of the job. On a 330-acre property, that’s a serious problem. We thought outside of the box and decided to install two temporary bridges, which would allow people and equipment to easily pass between both parcels.
Bridging the gap took ten teams, a few of which we’ll highlight here. Southern Engineering, our engineering arm, designed and engineered structural abutments to meet the specifications required by AME Crane’s bridges. Our virtual design and construction (VDC) group put it together in BIM, which allowed Southern Engineering to create a civil grading plan for approval. Our civil group graded the site accordingly, and the concrete group installed the abutments.
