Supporting Major Construction Projects: A Partnership with ICE®
Hardman Construction, a trusted contractor based in Ludington, MI, was assigned this ambitious project for Ford Motor Company's new central campus. This innovative expansion, located in Dearborn, Michigan, will house over 20,000 employees and serve as the heart of Ford's Research and Development operations.
Hardman Construction turned to ICE® to provide the foundation support needed for this large-scale project. As they embarked on driving H-Beams into the tough Michigan soil, ICE®’s 33 Vibratory Driver/Extractor package became the key to success.
The Power of Hydrauli-Flex Hoses in Heavy Equipment
The ICE® 33 Vibratory Driver/Extractor package is an essential piece of equipment for construction projects like the Ford Research and Development campus. To ensure this heavy machinery could deliver optimal performance, rugged and reliable hydraulic hoses were necessary to power the vibratory systems.
Hydrauli-Flex Hoses are designed to withstand extreme pressures and harsh environments, making them the ideal solution for high-demand applications in the construction industry. Our hoses are engineered for durability and flexibility, ensuring that even in the toughest driving conditions—like those faced by Hardman Construction in Dearborn—their equipment runs smoothly without fail.
In this particular case, ICE® was faced with driving H-Beams deep into dense, hard ground. The innovative solution from Hardman Construction, was a custom lead setup and additional bias weights to increase driving power on site. This out-of-the-box thinking allowed Hardman Construction to complete the job efficiently and on schedule, while reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Delivering Results on a Grand Scale
Upon completion, Ford Motor Company's new central campus will not only be a hub for innovation but will also relocate 6,000 employees to this state-of-the-art facility. The design of the campus, with its walkable environment and interconnected buildings, promises to foster collaboration and creativity among the 20,000 employees who will eventually call it home.
Hydrauli-Flex Hoses that powered the ICE® equipment used to drive the H-Beams, played an integral role in the success of this groundbreaking project. Our hoses ensured that Hardman Construction and ICE® could work quickly and efficiently—helping to make Ford's ambitious vision a reality. It’s an honor for our team at The Hose Company to be a part of the driving force for this job and many others just like it across the globe!
