Project Details

This project involved the construction of a new blasting facility at Union Pacific Railroad's (UPRR) DeSoto Car Shop in DeSoto, MO. Millstone Weber (MW) served as the general contractor on this project, coordinating with multiple subcontractors and UPRR Yard Staff to ensure construction impacts to UPRR operations were minimized. The project scope of work included demolition of two existing blasting facilities dating to the 1950's, construction of a new 20,000 SF pre-engineered metal building with cast-in-place concrete footings and auger-cast pile foundations. Site work included drainage improvements around the new facility and new concrete pavement for improved access to the new and existing facilities. This project began in December 2017 and was completed by September 2018.
