ENEBAK CONSTRUCTION This year is looking to be another busy year for Enebak Construction. Moving millions of cubic yards of earth each year takes extraordinary vision, massive equipment, and a talented, dedicated team. We have a fair share of carryover work from 2019, as well as a handful of new jobs starting in 2020 that we are looking forward to working on.
MATERIAL AVAILABILITY
DEWATERING
The site consists of varying depths of black dirt. Some areas throughout the site vary in depth from as little as 1 foot of black dirt to as deep as 20 feet. Due to these varying depths and large amounts of black dirt, ECC has to mine out a 7-acre pond nearly 50 feet deep to obtain the amount of sand that is required to develop the site in.
Most jobs throughout the Blaine area require some amount of dewatering. The HyVee site requires a pretty extensive dewatering process, utilizing hydraulic pumps. There are currently two 8� hydraulic pumps that run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to keep the water at bay. These pumps run to multiple sediment basins that we have built onsite to clean the water. Once the water gets to the basins it runs through a sequence of 2-3 sediment basins to filter out any of the sediment in the water. At that point the water is clean enough, and it overflows through an outlet pipe and into an offsite drainage ditch.
The new HyVee store in Blaine, MN is a project we are continuing to work on throughout the course of the winter. This is the fourth HyVee site that ECC has been part of in the past few years. We have worked with multiple developers and looked at different layouts for this site for over a decade. The challenges this site has, makes it more complex to develop. Not only were developers concerned about the site sitting on an existing swamp, but also the availability of materials and heavy dewatering needs that would require some creative problem solving.
