MAVERICK DEVELOPS THE EXCAVATION DIVISION WITH ON SET OF THE MILLENNIUM WING.  IT ONLY MADE SENSE TO PROGRESS WITH EXCAVATING AFTER THE JOB WAS COMPLETE.  WE PURCHASED A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF LATE MODEL EQUIPMENT TO PERFORM THE JOB.  OUR MACKINAC ISLAND CUSTOMERS PREFER US TO WORK IN THE WINTER DUE TO TOURISM.  THEREFORE EXCAVATION IS A SMART CHOICE FOR SUMMER FILL IN. WE STARTED WITH THE MONTROSE TOWNSHIP SEYMORE ROAD SANITARY SEWER EXTENSION. 

THIS PROJECT INCLUDED 21' DEEP 15" GRAVITY FEED SEWER, A 10 ' DIAMETER PUMP STATION 24' DEEP, AND 8" DUCTILE IRON FORCE MAIN, AND 6" SANITARY SEWER SERVICE LATERAL FOR EACH RESIDENCE ALONG THE ROUTE BORE AND JACKED UNDER THE ROADWAY.

WHILE IN THE AREA WE ALSO INSTALLED 2300' + 8" DUCTILE IRON WATER-MAIN INCLUDING A METERING VAULT WITH ALL APPURTENANCES.

IN OUR IMMEDIATE AREA WE HAVE INSTALLED A 750,000 GALLON PER DAY MAIN SEWER PUMPING STATION FOR THE CITY OF MACKINAW CITY, PERFORMED VARIOUS SANITARY AND WATER-MAIN EXTENSIONS FOR CITY OF SAINT IGNACE, SAULT TRIBE OF CHIPPEWA INDIANS, VARIOUS RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS AND SITE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.

PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO VIEW A SMALL SAMPLE OF THE WORK WE PERFORM IN THE PHOTOS BELOW.

THE PROJECT SIGN FOR 3.5 MILES OF 16" WATER-MAIN.

300 KOMATSU WORKING AROUND FIBER OPTIC AND TELEPHONE.  WE ENCOUNTERED AN UNDERGROUND RIVER AT THIS SPOT IN THE BACKGROUND YOU SEE A 6" PUMP RUNNING JUST TO KEEP THE WATER AT BAY.

AFTER EACH PIPE IS DUG IN IT IS BEDDED WITH COMPACTED SAND TO PROTECT IT FROM DAMAGE.

WHEN THE GROUND IS UNSTABLE MAVERICK HAS ALL THE PROPER SAFETY EQUIPMENT TO COMPLETE THE JOB.  HERE YOU SEE MEN WORKING IN A TRENCH BOX TO KEEP THE SIDES FROM CAVING IN.

ONE OF OUR PIPE LAYERS GIVES THIS HYDRANT INSTALLATION A ONCE OVER LOOK WHILE WAITING FOR THE SAND COVER.

THIS TEE ASSEMBLY WAS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED ON THE SURFACE, THEN SET IN THE TRENCH. THE MEN ARE PLACING PRESSURE TREATED TIMBERS UNDER THE ASSEMBLY TO INSURE PROPER ALIGNMENT AFTER THE BACKFILL PROCESS.

EVERYBODY IS WORKING HARD TO COMPLETE THIS TIE-IN. WHEN TYING IN TO AN EXISTING SYSTEM YOU NEED TO HAVE ENOUGH PARTS ON HAND TO ATTACH TO ANYTHING YOU MAY ENCOUNTER.  YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT, WHERE, OR HOW THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED. AT MAVERICK WE TAKE THE BOY SCOUTS MOTTO SERIOUSLY "ALWAYS BE PREPARED".

MAVERICK IS FAMILIAR WITH CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY.  THIS IS A 13,000 GALLON UNDERGROUND DETENTION SYSTEM WITH VORTECH SEPERATOR AT THE DOWN STREAM END.  BEHIND THE BUILDING IS THE CHEBOYGAN RIVER.

JUST A QUICK LOOK AT THE HEADER SYSTEM.  THE HORIZONTAL PIPES ARE 48",  THE VERTICLE IS A 24" CLEANOUT.
