The foundation of Boardsort’s new 18,000-square-foot facility just took its biggest step yet—literally. After months of preparation, reinforcement, and underground work, the crew began the massive concrete pour that forms the backbone of our building: the main floor slab and pylon system. The process unfolded in three major stages, starting with the thirty pylon bases. Phase 1 — Thirty Anchor Pylons We began by setting thirty concrete pylons that will carry the building’s steel frame. Each pylon used a removable template to suspend four threaded anchor studs at precise elevations and bolt spacings; the pour buries most of each stud, […]

By running the conduit below ground, the installation stays clean and unobstructed, ensuring that trucks, loaders, and tall equipment can move freely without the risk of overhead lines being clipped or damaged. Once buried, these conduits will protect the high-voltage cables from weather, impact, and corrosion for decades to come. The system is designed to […]
