case studies

By slab sawing, green-cutting, joint widening, and beveling 86 linear miles of concrete, Diamond helped The Walsh Group reconstruct the taxiways and apron gates at the McNamara Terminal.

Superior Asphalt pulled in Diamond to cut 27 linear miles of curb and slab sawed six miles of 10-inch-thick concrete roadway on U.S. Highway 90, between Biloxi and Gulfport, Mississippi.

To anchor the wall surrounding the stands at Notre Dame Stadium, Diamond core drilled 230 holes at an angle across two walls, 36 inches apart, around the perimeter of the football field.

To help expand its shipbuilding operations, Diamond slab sawed 7,000 linear feet of two-feet thick concrete and core drilled 11,500 holes in just five days at this Pascagoula, Mississippi shipyard.

Without letting any slurry or debris fall into the river below, Diamond devised a two-cut curb and slab saw plan to help Slagter Construction replace a bridge barrier rail and concrete deck.

When two structures shared seven 50-foot tall and three-foot thick concrete pillars, Diamond used core drilling and wire sawing to demolish one building without damaging the other.

For the installation of a new coal feeding system, Basic Electric Power put Diamond to work wire sawing an opening measuring 15.5 feet x 19.3 feet through six feet of concrete flooring.

Leaks needed repair at Cook’s Nuclear plant in Bridgman, Michigan. To avoid destructive contact, Diamond used Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to map all reinforcements and conduits.

Limited access in a courtyard made it difficult to safely separate, demolish, and remove five concrete decks and balconies without damaging the building. Diamond used robotic demolition to do so.

Before mechanical changes were made at Pfizer’s Kalamazoo, Michigan, manufacturing facility, Diamond located reinforced steel inside concrete walls helping to prevent construction damage.

Prior to a land purchase, Diamond scanned over 60,000 square feet using a subsurface tank locating system to determine if fuel tanks were still underground in a former gas station location.

Diamond scanned over 7,000 linear feet with Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) at Michigan State University's Spartan Stadium to locate all utilities and their depth before excavation for repairs.
