ATV - Snowmobile Trail down 70' embankment to access
boat, dock, and lakeshore area. Excavated 12' cut,
through upper bulkhead of retaining wall, dragged
the walk path to lakeshore for paved trail to prevent
any erosion of steep slope. Riprap (installation of
large boulders, approximately 2-3'feet diameter)
along the slope with geo-textile fabric underneath
Riprap System to prevent sub-surface erosion.
Installation of oval 8' x 5' x 50' culvert
furnished by Contex Industries, Shakopee, Minnesota

Jim's SuperValu
Austin, Minnesota
|
|
Jim's SuperValu is a new grocery store located in Austin, Minnesota;
Ankeny Builders was the general contractor out of Blue Earth, Minnesota.
Beemer Companies performed the mass grading for the five acre site
including soil corrections and footing excavation. We excavated
approximately 25,000 cubic yards of granular fill to be placed and
compacted to bring the site up to final grade. The project needed to
be put on the fast track with the building delivery date only a few weeks
away. With Beemer Companies capabilities and experience with similar
projects there was no doubt we could handle the project schedule put in front
of us. With the excellent cooperation between the owner, city, and general
contractor the project was completed on time.

Elm
Creek Bio-Engineering Project
Martin
County, Minnesota
|
|
Riprap
sharp bend in Elm Creek to flash point on river bank
and use Willow Tree Saplings to stabilize the river
bank at flood conditions. Geo-textile matting fabric
was dove-tailed 2' below creek bottom. Then 18"
- 24" Quartzite Riprap was installed up to the
flash point of Elm Creek. To prevent bank erosion
from surface water over the top of the bank, a
Riprap waterway was created to direct surface water
to flow into the creek. This was a joint project
with the Martin County Highway Department.
Bio-Engineered Willow Sapling mat was supervised and
installed by the Martin County Highway Department.

Residential
6" PVC Well
Clear
Lake, Iowa
|
|
Using
existing geological survey maps, bedrock was
determined at a depth of 130'. Rock was penetrated
20' to a depth of 150' at which point 6" PVC
Casing was set and grouted to surface with Bentonite
grout. Rock drilling through the PVC Casing took us
into the limestone to a depth of 205' at which point
the well was producing 75 gallons per minute. The
well was then developed and cleared for installation
the pump and pressure system.
