Springfield, MO Gas & Electric Project

Site preparation activities included HIS Constructors, Inc. (HIS) constructing a 234’ x 120’ temporary fabric structure with a 46’ clear span opening at the center of the structure. HIS placed six (6) TIGG NB20 vapor-phase air purification units along the outer perimeter of the structure to assist with air purification. Other site prep performed by HIS included installation of temporary fence with fabric, erosion control, tracking pads, site clearing, well abandonment, traffic control, and continual site security measures.

HIS excavated, transported and disposed of approximately 21,000 tons of environmentally impacted soil, MGP source material and debris from within the temporary fabric structure. A temporary fabric structure was relocated to accommodate the site excavation boundaries. Excavation depths varied from 3’ to 26’ deep and included temporary shoring in portions of the site. Two (2) gas holders, a tar pit, building slab and foundations, rock, and various other structures and obstructions above and below ground were removed.
