Below is one of the current soil and groundwater remediation projects FABCO is working on at the present time in Red Bank New Jersey, the former residence of Florence Forgotson the project started on January 18, 2010. FABCO will post photos of the project as the project progresses.   The project structure is being prepared to move to a staging location on in order to do perform the soil and groundwater remediation. The reason for the move, the soil underneath the structure has been impacted from and underground oil tank failure which impacted the soil 20 feet below the structure.  This structure is over 100 years old, wooden framed house with a brick foundation.     

Above shows the structure before the project started, and how the structure must be prepared in order to move the structure 100 feet forward to the staging area.  

The support steel I-beams are placed underneath the structure, to lift the structure all at once. 

Support steel I beams have been place under the structure for the lift. Slide Rails and rollers have been place to move the structure from the foundation area out to the staging area 100 feet away.    

The structure move is being performed by Wolfe House Movers, LLC.of Bernville, PA. Prior to the move FABCO obtained all building and zoning permits with the township and prepared the structure for the move.

January 29, 2010 The structure has been moved back to it staging location, and FABCO is ready for foundation demolition.

February 1, 2010, Today FABCO started the demolition of the foundation, all the concrete and brick was sent to an approved recycle facility to make crushed concrete, used as stablization material for road bases.  

The demolition material is loaded out on to trucks and transported to the facility for recycling.  

The demolition matertial is seperated from the excavation overburden soils. All soils above the foundation are clean. The clean overburden soils will be staged on site for reuse as backfill materal around the new foundation.   

Foundation removal completed, all demolition materials loaded out for recyling  (2-2-10)  

Installing a tracking pad, to keep the site clean, and maintian a safe entrance to excavation area.
