That is enough concrete to cover 30.5 football fields with 1 foot of concrete. The most challenging aspect of this project was that a project of this magnitude isn t built everyday and much of the engineering was yet to be completed or was done on the fly.
With changes occurring almost daily, Hammerlund Construction was able to save Mesabi Nugget large amounts of money by providing them with flawless improvisation and innovation in correcting those changes. Throughout the course of the project Hammerlund Construction employed over 80 tradesman consisting of finishers, carpenters, ironworkers, operators, and laborers.
By employing the best the local unions have to offer, Hammerlund Construction operated for nearly 140,000 labor hours without a lost time accident. No matter the size or scope of a project, we pride ourselves in conducting manners in a safe and secure construction site.
