Case Study
Rooms to Go Distribution Center and Showroom – Dunn, NC
PROJECT
Rooms to Go Distribution Center and Showroom – Dunn, NC
CLIENT
Vannoy Construction/Rooms to Go
SITUATION
Rooms To Go required a 1.45-million-square-foot distribution center and retail operation on poor site conditions.
The site conditions, consisting of raw land with what appeared to be unsuitable soils, could have meant major delays and significant cost increases.
SOLUTION
Glover Construction performed approximately 800,000 cubic yards of earthwork including grading, soil stabilization, compaction, and topsoil removal and replacement.
Glover Construction was able to salvage all of the material on site due to extensive experience dealing with questionable soils and a fleet of oversized, custom-built discs, compaction rollers and articulated tractors. Extensive implementation of underground drainage pipe/sock system enabled Glover to dry the material enough to manipulate it with the oversized equipment.
OUTCOME
- 180,000-square-yards of paved surfaces.
- 30-acre warehouse and retail facility.
- Saved the client significant time and costs by salvaging questionable material.
- Not a single load of material was removed from the site as unsuitable.
- The site work was finished ahead of schedule, under budget and without contractor-generated change orders.
Contract Value: $9.46 million
