Scope Of Work
Most people don’t think of dams when they picture construction in Florida, but the Jane Green Retention Dam in western Brevard posed our most challenging wire saw project to date. A recent renovation of the dam left the two sluice gates four foot above the correct elevation which caused flooding of the sensitive, protected environment. Working with the US Army Corps of Engineers, Speedy sawcut two eight-foot-wide by eight-foot-tall by forty-foot-deep openings through the solid concrete dam wall! Remarkably, the horizontal surfaces were cut to within a one-half inch tolerance over the forty-foot depth.
