Ground-breaking at Key Logistics - The Lauth Group, an Indiana based development firm began site work at Key Logistics Industrial Park just outside of Carlisle, PA earlier this summer. Work began on the 1st of three large industrial warehouse buildings with individual footprints exceeding one (1) million square feet. Hillis-Carnes was specifically brought onto the project by HRG, a Pennsylvania based civil engineering firm, to evaluate the site and provide recommendations regarding material usage and foundation systems suited for Karst, limestone, wet clays and combinations thereof.
Thanks for your support - Thanks to more than 550 Strollers, 450 donors, 50 volunteers, and scores of generous sponsors and in-kind supporters, our collective efforts raised more than $111,000 to pay for essential support services in 2008 at the annual June 8th Heart & Sole Stroll to benefit The Red Devils organization.
Special appreciation is extended to our clients that graciously donated to this cause in support of our team, the “Hillis-Carnes High-Risers.” Our team won a High-Dollar Stroller award for placing sixth amongst fifteen other high-dollar teams.
Hillis-Carnes adds a new tool - Hillis-Carnes recently added a a vacuum truck in the construction division. The vacuum truck has been used by Hillis-Carnes crews to clean underground stormwater management vaults, locate utilities and, in one emergency situation, to provide stream restoration. The "vac" truck is used to efficiently lift the accumulated sediments from the labyrinth of chambers within these large underground structures. Frank Garcia, of Hillis-Carnes’ Owings Mills office heads up this service. For further information contact Frank Garcia at fgarcia@hcea.com.
Out & About - Hillis-Carnes was invited by ALDI Foods, Inc. to attend the grand opening of their newest Baltimore store located on 8670 Pulaski Highway near Golden Ring Mall. Hillis-Carnes currently holds an open-end master service agreement with ALDI to include environmental site assessments, geotechnical engineering & subsurface investigations, forensic & structural engineering, as well as construction monitoring and testing services. We have assisted ALDI in developing practical cost-effective construction methodologies for a number of technically challenging site conditions.
