Cleveland Art Museum - The Final Phase

Independence Excavating (IX) is currently working at the Cleveland Museum of Art on the final phase of the museum's expansion project. IX and our sister companies have been involved with the expansion project in various phases for over eight years! Previous work completed includes demolition, sheeting and shoring, dewatering, mass excavation and backfill, utility installation, and site restoration. Our current project includes excavation and the installation of concrete foundations, walls, and slabs associated with the new atrium and west addition. The Cleveland Museum of Art expansion project has given our company a chance to show our versatility over the years- and with great success!

Our crews will be working hard through the tough winter months to complete most of the building shell by spring of 2011. The museum is slated to open the new addition in 2012.

Independence Excavating would like to take the opportunity to thank the Cleveland Museum of Art and Panzica/Gilbane for the opportunity to work on another unique project. We would also like to thank all of our crews who have worked so hard on all the past phases to date. We will continue your efforts and finish up strong!
