Batey Elementary School

About this Project

Site preparation for a new 80 acre elementary and middle school campus which is located in Rutherford County. Starting from raw farm fields, performed building and site demolition, mass excavation, rock excavation and building pad preparation. Demo Plus moved approximately 300,000 CY of material in just under 35 days but battled 30 days of rain to turn the pad over 40 days early for the client.

Highlights:

• Cleared and stripped 80 acres of raw land covered with trees and farm fields
• Demolished a 5000 sf house and out building
• Cut and fill to balance site 300,000 cy
• Export of 25,000 cy of material
• Imported 45,000 CY of Shot Rock and Surge for building pad
• 10,000 CY of rock hammering
• Turning pad over 40 days early

Site Conditions:

• Nashville top rainy seasons on history
• Unsuitable soils and wet weather caused delays
• Bedrock down to 11’ below grade
• Rock elevation was shallower in the baseball field requiring 5 excavators with hammers to process rock
• 4 large sinkholes encountered
