Day One: Ward County Dike Removal

Bluestone Construction, Inc. is the lead subcontractor for Ceres Environmental on a large emergency levee removal project for the US Army Corps of Engineers. We are responsible for 20% of the entire contract.

Our duties include loading up clay from the levees, hauling it to designated stockpile sites, and reclaiming those sites.  Removing and disposing of sandbags is also part of the contract. 

Pouring Forms

The concrete pump has arrived and concrete is flowing into our freshly-formed up walls as we speak.

The pour went smoothly. A building will be moved on the walls in a few weeks.

Stacking Forms

August 3rd, 2011; Crosby, ND:

Forms are being stacked for the basement walls of an office building.

There are many advantages to ICF basements. With ICF basements, the concrete is not exposed to the interior or exterior of the basement wall. The EPS panels on each side of the concrete insulate the basement walls and create a barrier. Basements built with ICFs are much more comfortable and feel like the upper levels, creating more truly livable and valuable space. With proper waterproofing and installation, ICFs create warm, dry basements for years to come. While an entire ICF struture is preferable, ICF basements can serve as the foundation and livable space for a stick-built or manufactured home.

Minot Flood Clean-Up

Minot's Dakota Agronomy is scrambling to get back to normal as dike removal is underway.

Bluestone Construction has an excavator, two trucks, and a wheel loader on site loading and hauling away tons by ton of clay from the massive dikes situated around the fertilizer elevators.

Office Foundation

Bluestone's mini-excavator and wheel loader can be seen today working on digging out for a foundation for an office building.

Things are looking good... snazzy in fact; and wrapping up at the Noonan border.
