About Bluegrass Bit
"In October of 2005 Tejas Maintenance, a Subsidiary of Exline Inc., contacted several diamond wire saw companies for assistance with a project in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Our knowledge of the diamond wire saw method of concrete demolition was limited. The professional staff at Bluegrass quickly responded to Tejas' inquiries and turned in a favorable estimate. As a result, Bluegrass was chosen to demo the compressor foundations. We are very pleased with the results and have the highest regards for the employees of Bluegrass. They are very knowledgeable, innovative and amiable to work with."
