M-183 Garden Township Culvert Replacement
Summer 2022
Client: Plutchak Crane & Fabrication

Highway M-183 in Garden Township had a culvert replacement project in which a cofferdam using steel sheet piling was required. The traffic was maintained by executing the project in two stages. This required shoring for the maintenance of traffic lane, as well as the excavation in both stages.
The existing grade elevation to the bottom of excavation reached 28 feet in depth at its greatest point.
U.P. Sheds & U.P. Contracting Shop Building
Fall 2020
Client: U.P. Sheds/U.P. Contracting
Location: Houghton County, MI
A 4,800 square foot, tall-wall, wood-framed structure was designed. The foundation was a shallow, frost-protected monolithic, reinforced concrete slab with radiant heat.
