G. Greene team implemented below-grade conduit systems and a transformer drainage pipe, complemented by a precast oil-water separator tank and pumping chamber.
To further strengthen the infrastructure, cast-in-place concrete piers, footings, and containment walls were installed. The project also featured the creation of a transformer containment pit, which was equipped with a geocomposite liner and a CMU blast wall for added safety. The effort concluded with thorough site grading and asphalt paving, ensuring a well-finished and functional facility.
