CIMA Services LP was recently awarded the civil construction portion of a water treatment/chlorine gas removal project. The work CIMA completed consisted of identifying utilities in the area, setting up temporary security, excavating for tank pedestal foundations, stabilizing the subgrade, pouring tank foundations/pedestals, constructing a containment around the pedestals and applying a patented coating system on the containment concrete. Additional work included constructing the pump and pipe support foundations, stabilizing and constructing access roads, grading the site, and installing ground cover and permanent fencing around the facility.
"This project displayed the synergies produced through CIMA's diverse service offerings that include civil, structural, mechanical and its specialized coatings divisions," said Matthew Taylor, managing partner of CIMA Services. "CIMA is an industry leader in performing construction, mechanical and environmentally sensitive contracting and offers over 50 years of combined relevant experience in projects involving all facets of industrial services."
Serving as a subcontractor for CYLX, CIMA performed an estimated 7,300 manhours on this project, which took five months to complete. The company's full construction specifics included:
- Excavating for tank foundations.
- Constructing three separate foundations and pedestals.
- Constructing a containment slab and walls.
- Constructing ancillary pump and pipe support foundations.
- Applying a coating system on containment concrete.
