"This project was a stepping stone for OCCI, Inc. and Bluegrass to build a relationship for the future. It is OCCI's intention to partner with Bluegrass for years to come! Since completion of this project, OCCI has been awarded a similar project at another lock and has partnered with BBC to complete the concrete demolition. BBC was chosen for this project due to their innovative approach to the demolition as well as their team approach to the entire job which allowed for overall project success."
