4. Secure the Site: Install temporary fencing to secure the site and ensure safety for the public and workers.
5. Maintain Clean Working Conditions: Keep the work area clean and safe, as the travel center remained open to the public during the project.
6. Pour Pads and Sidewalks: Install new concrete pads and sidewalks to support the EV charging units and provide accessible pathways.
7. Set Threaded Rods and Bollards: Install threaded rods and bollards to secure the EV units in place, ensuring they are ready to be received by the bolts.

Challenges and Solutions

Trenching and Asphalt Removal

Trenching for conduit and removing asphalt required precision to avoid disrupting existing infrastructure.

Solution: Our team used advanced excavation equipment to create precise trenches and remove asphalt efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding areas.

Coordination with Electricians

Close coordination with electricians was essential to ensure the proper installation of electrical components.

Solution: We maintained open communication with the electrical team, scheduling our work to align with their needs and ensuring all conduits and components were correctly placed.
