Heavy Civil Construction
Scrimgeour's Farm All started out as a surveying firm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The company expanded from boundary work and site design to start self performing grading and construction work. This allowed work to flow quickly between the field and the design team so that projects were completed quickly and changes could be designed and implemented without causing costly delays. The construction work grew from wildlife habitats and farm buildings to large earthwork projects for the Federal Government and Local Municipalities.
Scrimgeour's Farm All now specializes in performing remote construction projects for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Federal Highway Administration, National Park Service, and various other Municipalities. The company has performed numerous dike raises for the USACE, spanning from Virginia to Texas, built multiple bridges in the National Parks, and performed dam repairs in New York.
Scrimgeour's Farm All has taken on and completed projects that present difficult circumstances for construction. These challenging projects have allowed the company to grow and expand its methods of construction.
Clearing the site to prepare for construction. This initial step at the site allows sediment controls to be placed and the crews to better assess condition of the site.
Mapping the existing conditions of the project and establishing ground control. SFA utilizes drones, GPS, robotic, and grade control equipment to quickly capture site conditions. This aids in tracking progress and verifying quantities.
Weather can be the factor between completing a project ahead of schedule or suffering costly delays. SFA establishes drainage features that pass water through the site for treatment and removal.
Fill material varies greatly between sites. Each site is tested to determine the appropriate equipment. Sometimes a pull pan can reduce the need for an excavator, other times the only way remove the material is by thin cuts with an excavator on timber mats.
Depending on the site, SFA has moved material by wheel, track, pan, and bucket.
When a project has to meet or exceed template, Grade Control is key to ensuring the template is achieved while minimizing costly overages.
It can be placed but that doesn't mean its going to stay. SFA uses varying stabilizing techniques including matting, strawing, and hydroseeding to get the turf established.
SFA can install the structural foundation no matter the location. While it is convenient when a concrete truck can pull up to the form work, not all locations will allow it. SFA has pumped, shuttled, and mixed on site to ensure the foundation is made.
It doesn't matter if its moving, retrofitting, or new fabrication, SFA can and has worked with the water control structure.
The lack of a road doesn't have to stop a project. SFA has barged and shipped equipment, supplies, and workers.
Creating the strong barrier that protects the site from the forces of nature.
Unfortunately not all things are made to last. The good news is, SFA is there to help clean it up.
Not all bridges can be set by cranes. SFA has placed bridges by launching across the opening due to space and weight restrictions making the site inaccessible for a crane without further disturbance to a historic site.
SFA has placed many steel structures whether they be a spillway, walkway, or bridge.
Bringing access to a site sometimes requires more than a dump truck. SFA uses various geosynthetics to stabilize work areas.
Paving isn't only functional, but can also be the elegant touch that brings the project into visual completion.
