Project Spotlight: Overcoming Concrete Challenges on Mary St., Chilliwack

by | Sep 10, 2024 | Blog, Building, Construction | 0 comments

At Rock Busters, we pride ourselves on taking on the tough jobs others shy away from, and our recent project on Mary St. in Chilliwack is a perfect example. The task involved removing and repairing a 20-foot-long, 8-foot-wide, and 3-foot-thick concrete slab with rebar supports. During the initial build, rebar placement was overlooked, and while the issue was identified, it wasn’t addressed in time before the concrete pour. As a result, the team was faced with a complicated situation that required precision to fix without damaging the existing structure (so the missing rebar could be added – and new concrete again poured).

Despite calling several companies, the client struggled to find anyone willing to take on such detailed, tedious work. Most contractors were hesitant due to the complexity involved. Thatโ€™s where Rock Busters stepped in.

Our solution involved using expanding grout and specialized jackhammering techniques to carefully remove the concrete without compromising the integrity of the existing rebar. After drilling, we poured grout and painstakingly chipped away at the structure, ensuring no damage was done to the rebar in place. The entire process required precision, patience, and expertise, which we delivered over the course of 10 days.

Our team thrives on these detailed challenges that others avoid. If youโ€™re facing a difficult concrete removal or repair project, Rock Busters is here to help. Contact us today to learn more about how we can take on the jobs no one else will!
