Helicon Foundation Repair to Begin Work at Walgreens in Ocala

by | Jun 5, 2013

Helicon announced today that crews will begin a sinkhole repair project at a Walgreens store in Ocala in early June. After sinkhole conditions were identified at the site, Walgreens selected Helicon to perform the repairs. This will be a significantly large project that will require an estimated 600 cubic yards of grout with 1,920 linear feet of casing. The job is approximately twice the size of a residential project that typically requires an estimated 300 cubic yards of grout to repair sinkhole conditions.

For more than a decade, Helicon has built its reputation as the leader in residential sinkhole repair. The company has also completed a significant number of commercial projects and is quickly gaining recognition as a trusted resource for companies who are dealing with a sinkhole problem.

Casey Messer, Helicon’s Chief Operating Officer, stated that the repair project at Walgreens will take approximately three weeks to complete.
