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.
