Uline Corp – Interior Joint Filling, Floor Sealing and Polishing – Pleasant Prairie, WI
1 million square feet, 140,000 linear feet of control joint filling, fall two weeks behind on your schedule due to a product issue, and then try to catch up to meet the schedule of completion before racking comes in without sacrificing quality. No problem for Rick Perry and his D&B team. We have featured Uline before, in our earlier blog on their exterior concrete. We welcome them to our area and look forward to a long partnership with this exceptional client. That being said, when you start a project for any client, you want everything to go perfect. When the specified product you install begins to turn yellow, your neck tie feels tighter as you lose days on your schedule. Rick Perry and his team effectively managed through their schedule delays, and with an approved switch of material to a more light stable product, the team was back under way. The project consisted of 140,000 ln ft of RS88 1 and ¾” deep full depth filling of the sawcuts, antistaining wax, application of ashford formula and diamond polishing of the surface using Bonded Reflect diamond pads. No small feat to complete in less than one month. The team worked consistently, delivering the desired areas on time, including weekends and overtime to achieve the client’s schedule. Challenges includes size of the project, schedule, product delays, and yellowing of the original specified product. Rick lead his team through removal of the yellowed product and replacement with RS88 and worked well to coordinate other trades and Uline personell to avoid confusion on site. Overall another fine project for our team to be proud of. With such a large project, their were many team members on board who chipped in, including Lalo, Curtis, Corey, Sr, JR, and a list of others. Overall, the project started slow and finished fast.
