Boiler Pads at St. Ann's Home

Westside Construction Group recently completed a specialized project at St. Ann's Home, a healthcare facility in Rochester, NY, where we created new boiler pads in the basement. This project involved navigating limited access to transport materials, mix concrete onsite, and ensure the structural integrity of the pads.

Project Details

Location: Rochester, NY
Scope of Work: Creation of Boiler Pads in Basement

Project Objectives

The primary objectives of this project were to:

• Create Boiler Pads: Construct new boiler pads in the basement to support the facility's heating system.
• Manage Limited Access: Efficiently transport materials to the basement despite restricted access points.
• Mix Concrete Onsite: Prepare and mix concrete onsite to ensure quality and adherence to specifications.
• Ensure Structural Integrity: Build durable and stable boiler pads to support heavy equipment.

Challenges and Solutions

Limited Access to Basement

• Challenge: Transporting materials to the basement was challenging due to narrow access points and confined spaces.
• Solution: Our team used specialized equipment and carefully planned the logistics to move materials through the limited access points efficiently. We also scheduled material deliveries during off-peak hours to minimize disruption.

Onsite Concrete Mixing

• Challenge: Mixing concrete onsite in a confined space required careful planning and execution to ensure quality and consistency.
• Solution: We set up a temporary mixing station in the basement, using portable mixers to prepare the concrete. Our team ensured precise measurements and thorough mixing to meet the project specifications.

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 basement, overcoming limited access challenges.
• High-Quality Concrete Pads: Mixed and poured concrete onsite, creating durable and stable boiler pads.
• Enhanced Structural Integrity: Constructed boiler pads that meet all safety and structural standards, ensuring long-term reliability.
