At Project GT in Bessemer City, our team is carving out a 180,000 SF specialty distribution facility for a repeat client. This was the first of three blasts that will move a combined 25,000 cubic feet of rock. The team is currently mass grading and has just started laying underground utilities, so there’s plenty more to come.
The best part? The finger on the detonator belonged to summer intern David Cotterill. Not a bad line for the resume.
