Wood Group has begun the second of two site construction services contracts to support development of a new tissue production site for Sofidel in Circleville, Central Ohio, the company reported in a press statement. Wood Group has been subcontracted by Gray Construction, that has been selected to design and build the new Sofidel facility, to perform all necessary site and infrastructure preparation activities needed for paper products.
Wood Group’s contract with the Italian tissue company for phase one began in June 2016 with site grading and stone placement to establish the required site elevations in preparation for the construction of the production buildings and pavements, along with site stabilization, and sediment and erosion control. The work took approximately six months to complete and was equivalent to building a concrete floor the size of 74 football fields.
Following the completion of Phase one, Gray subcontracted Wood Group to complete second phase work, which focuses on the installation of storm wastewater, sanitary, domestic water, fire protection water, electrical duct banks and excavation of soil from building basement. The second phase is expected to be completed in October of 2017.
