Providing stability to a delicate situation
- A 20,000 lb. boring machine was settling due to improper soil compaction.
- The machine had to be calibrated to within 1/1000th of an inch, so any amount of settlement had the potential to render the machine unusable.
- JACKCRETE foam was utilized to stabilize the subsoil while maintaining the 1/1000th of an inch calibration.
- RuhRPumpen saved over $100,000 in lost revenue that would have been incurred had they replaced the slab.
- Instead of an estimated 2 months of downtime to break down the machine, jackhammer out the slab, pour a new slab, and then reassemble the machine, JACKCRETE was able to complete the job in 6 hours with minimal disruption to RuhRPumpen's operations.
