Problem:

UMKC school of Nursing & Pharmacy, located in Kansas City, Missouri, was in the process of installing a new boiler. Prior to installing the boiler the existing slab had to be removed by a local concrete cutting company so footers could be installed to support the weight of the boiler. Without knowing what was under the slab the contractor had the concrete cut. Overall 16 conduit lines were cut, many being electrical feeds to chillers. The contractor spent >$15,000 on electricians repairing these lines.

Solution:

Construction Solutions was specifically called out to perform a GPR scan of the area for other locations that the concrete was to be removed. All conduits were accurately located for our customer. Instead of taking a chance and paying $15,000+ in repairs and hours spent repairing lines, Construction Solutions located all conduits for only a fraction of what the repairs could have totaled.
