Bluestone Construction makes the news!

New Excavator: Volvo 340D

It just wouldn't be right not to introduce the shining new member of the Bluestone fleet. Folks, meet the brand new Volvo 340D. 

Fresh off the trailer onto the muddy job site!

Loading clay into our truck.

The excavator will not replace any of our other excavators, but will instead be used for larger projects. We will be putting it to good use this year!

Crawlspace Footings

One of our projects this week took us to the flood zone of Minot, where Minot's own Jim Olson (KXMC News legend) is rebuilding. His home was condemned after the flood took it's toll on the foundation, and was subsequently torn down. It left the Olsons with a hole in the ground.

Nobody wants a hole in the ground.

The foundation was filled in and compacted to the correct density in preparation for a crawlspace that will support the Olson's new home.

Leif points out something substantial.

Looking good!

Discussing a topic of great depth.

As of Friday, concrete has been poured for footings and forms stripped; next week will bring on the crawlspace walls and backfilling. 

Spring Septic Systems

Here are some photos of one of our projects going on this week. We are installing a pressure mound septic system by Lake Audobon.

A local farmer was kind enough to provide us with some dirt.

The mound.

Other projects this week include site work for a large storage condo building going up in North Minot.
