… early test results help reduce construction
schedule.
Many of Dunkelberger’s projects require concrete
test results be reported to the site within 24 hours or less of
casting in order to allow contractors to remove shoring, reshoring
and/or stress post tensioned cables. Dunkelberger routinely is
onsite in the early morning hours to pick up concrete compressive
strength specimens, return them to our laboratory, perform the
test and report the test results to the site before 7:00 a.m. |

… experienced
staff heads off potential problems.
On a large earthwork project, Dunkelberger was performing
earthwork observation services during excavation of the lake. The
initial geotechnical study performed by others did not identify
an unsuitable soil layer which was located approximately seven
feet below grade in isolated pockets across the site. As
the unsuitable materials were unearthed during the excavation process,
our
field personnel immediately visually classified the materials as
unsuitable (organic) for structural fill. The general contractor
was promptly notified and these materials, with Dunkelberger’s involvement, were separated from the suitable materials which were
being placed within the building pad areas. |

… resources to handle short notice
situations.
In these times of material shortages, Dunkelberger is often asked to
perform our services with little or no notice. On a recent
project, Pump Station 5229 for Palm Beach County, the construction
manager was notified the concrete supplier had moved the delivery
time up to “immediate release.” Later in a courtesy
memo to our office, the project manager recalled, “I called
Dunkelberger, talked to Rafael, and he promised to see if he could
move up arrival of your technician. The concrete truck arrived
and we scrambled to find our ‘emergency’ cylinder molds,
but within five minutes of concrete arrival, within 20 minutes
of my call, your technician was on the job and testing. We
couldn’t have asked for better service. Our hats off
to you. Thanks again.” |
