JCG was awarded the first construction package for a new Polyvinyl Chlorite (PVC) facility.

The scope of work in the site preparation package involved 3 phases of construction:  1)  Earthwork 2) Underground pipe installation 3) Concrete road paving.

Activities included clearing and grubbing, topsoil stripping, construction of drainage culverts and structures, installation of an underground firewater system, and lime stabilization.  The scope of work also included limestone surfacing and road base and the construction of concrete roadways.

In total, the project required:
