Core Drilling at Cazenovia College

Westside Construction Group recently completed a core drilling project at Cazenovia College, providing precise and efficient core extraction services to support the installation of new radiators, and the repair of steam and sanitary piping. Our team was tasked with drilling 1,500 core samples of varying sizes and depths across the campus, ensuring minimal disruption to the college’s daily operations.

Project Details

• Location: Cazenovia, NY
• Scope of Work: Core Drilling for Radiator Installation and Piping Repairs
• Core Sizes: 2 inches to 10 inches in diameter
• Depth: Up to 24 inches
• Number of Cores: 1,500

Project Objectives

The primary objectives of this project were to:

1. Extract Core Samples: Drill 1,500 core holes ranging from 2 inches to 10 inches in diameter and up to 24 inches deep to facilitate new radiator installations and repair steam and sanitary piping.
2. Minimize Disruption: Conduct drilling operations with minimal interference to the daily activities of students and staff.
3. Ensure Safety: Adhere to stringent safety protocols to protect both our team and the college community during the drilling process.

Challenges and Solutions

Limited Access Areas

Some drilling locations were in restricted or hard-to-reach areas, posing challenges for equipment setup and operation.

Solution: Our team utilized portable and adaptable drilling rigs designed for confined spaces, ensuring we could access and drill in all required locations without compromising on precision or safety.

Water Control in Dorm Rooms and Offices

Managing water control in dorm rooms and offices was essential to prevent water damage and ensure a safe environment for students and staff.

Solution: We implemented specialized drilling techniques to accommodate the installation of water control systems. Our team worked closely with Cazenovia College's maintenance staff to ensure proper integration of these systems, effectively preventing water-related issues and maintaining a dry, safe environment.
