Project Summary
Construction projects have the potential to be complicated under the best of conditions. So what happens when you try to remove and replace more than 30-thousand square feet of concrete from a busy gas station? Oh... and by-the-way, that gas station needs to stay open during construction!
You get the idea. This project near Pittsburgh, PA required expert planning and attention to detail. Diamond worked closely with GetGo management to make sure traffic kept flowing with minimal impact to the business all while working around difficult weather conditions.
Executing The Project
Phase 1: Develop Plan
We kept the plan simple: half the gas station stayed open while construction unfolded on the other half. This was a very high traffic area located at the heart of a busy intersection. Diamond made sure customers were always able to access the business.
Phase 2: Concrete Removal
31-thousand square feet of concrete was cut at a depth of 8-inches and removed from the job site.
Phase 3: Concrete Replacement
The base was graded and compacted. Forms were set and 8-inches of concrete was poured across 31-thousand square feet.
Phase 4: Additional Concrete Work
Concrete ADA ramps were installed along with nearly 600 square feet of sidewalks. Twenty-five steel bollards were set in place to protect the storefront and curb work was completed to round out the concrete work.
Phase 5: Fresh Lines
The final touch on the project: fresh traffic markers to direct vehicles and lines to designate parking stalls.
We Get It
When your business name is "GetGo" it's pretty clear that speed and efficiency are important to your brand. Diamond worked through multiple schedule challenges to get the project done quickly!
