In December of 2006, Panzica Construction awarded what was the beginning of a 70-acre site development project for Snyder- Cannata Interests.

Since December, a lot has changed at the intersection of Transportation Boulevard and Granger Road. Independence Excavating joined in the project with the task of razing 54 houses which took approximately four months.

The site package developed into a very aggressively scheduled project. Our job included the laying of 555 lf of 42' pipe and placement of 30,000 cy of embankment ahead of the final grading plan being designed.

Following completion of the early site package, Independence Excavating was chosen to perform the mass excavation which posed multiple obstacles. The requirements of the future retail stores would only allow a 3' minus granular material fill in the 75' deep ravine. Achieving this specification was not an easy task. It took additional equipment and multiple fills to keep progressively moving forward at the rate that was needed to maintain the schedule. On a site consisting of 30% clays and 70% rock, only a little more than half was usable due to the rest being expansive shale that was only allowed outside of the future buildings. This caused us to strategically make cuts to expose the unusable material.

In August of 2007 Panzica Construction awarded us the utility package which began in September, 2007. The scope of work consisted of 9,000 lf of waterline, 8,000 lf of sanitary, and 11,000 ft of storm, all which followed the same strict requirements of a 3' minus backfill. Together with the Panzica management team of Bill Davis and Mike Picciano, as well as the M. Neff Design Group, we look forward to completing yet another successful project.
