Boiler Pads at Palmyra-Macedon High School

Westside Construction Group recently completed a challenging boiler pads project at Palmyra-Macedon High School. The project involved creating new boiler pads in the attic of the school, requiring all materials to be manually hauled up and hoisted onto the roof by a tele-handler due to limited accessibility.

Project Details

Location: Palmyra, NY
Scope of Work: Creation of Boiler Pads in the Attic

Project Objectives

The primary objectives of this project were to:

• Create Boiler Pads: Construct new boiler pads in the attic to support the school’s heating system.
• Overcome Access Challenges: Efficiently transport materials to the attic despite limited accessibility.
• Ensure Structural Integrity: Build durable and stable boiler pads to support heavy equipment.

Challenges and Solutions

Limited Accessibility

• Challenge: Transporting materials to the attic required careful planning and specialized equipment due to restricted access points.
• Solution: Our team used a tele-handler to hoist materials onto the roof and manually hauled them to the attic. This method ensured that all necessary materials reached the worksite safely and efficiently.

Material Handling and Safety

• Challenge: Handling heavy materials in confined spaces posed safety challenges.
• Solution: We implemented strict safety protocols, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and secure lifting techniques. Our team was trained to handle materials carefully to prevent accidents and ensure smooth operations.

Structural Integrity of Pads

• Challenge: Ensuring the boiler pads were structurally sound and capable of supporting heavy equipment was crucial.
• Solution: We followed strict engineering guidelines and reinforced the pads with rebar to enhance their strength and durability. Our team conducted thorough inspections to ensure the pads met all safety and structural requirements.

Results

• Successful Material Transport: Efficiently transported all necessary materials to the attic, overcoming limited access challenges.
• High-Quality Boiler Pads: Constructed durable and stable boiler pads that meet all safety and structural standards.
• Safe and Efficient Operations: Maintained a zero-incident safety record, demonstrating our commitment to safety and quality.
