Piling and Shoring Applications

Vacuumed 8-ft. Well Points

The Problem: Pouring bridge abutments is never an easy job, made more difficult when performed in November within feet of a fast flowing and high profile stream.

The Flex Services Solution: This contractor hired us to vacuum holes for well points, within 2-3ft of the rivers edge, to assist in de-watering their work area. Access when working in a streambed is never easy, but the process was further complicated by the presence of sheet-piling and a watchful eye from the DOT Inspector. Two well points were successfully dug, each approximately 2ft in diameter by 7ft deep. Spoils were hauled to a suitable dumpsite and the stream was left undisturbed. Our portion of this project was completed in approximately 6 hours.

Tennis Net Post Holes

The Problem: The new tennis courts at a local school were ready for paving and sealing. But this job had a tight schedule and the contractor wanted the net posts installed first. Traditionally, footing holes would have been augered with a bobcat. However, this process would leave many tire marks and spoils to clean-up.

The Flex Services Solution: FLEX was contacted to vacuum excavate these holes, as a cleaner and faster and safer alternative. Though there was little likelihood of striking any buried utilities, why take a chance on (20), 18”x 42” holes. This job was accomplished within our 4 hour minimum call-out.
