Parker Hannifin Hose Plant – Manhattan, KS
Bahm Construction was contracted to remove the existing vulcanizer and replace with a new one. The complete project was to be completed in 4 days. Bahm Construction worked day and night for 4 days to complete the project.
Day 1 consisted of demo of the metal panel wall, removal of old vulcanizer, and demo of the concrete foundation and footing.

On Day 2 Bahm Construction removed mud and installed AB3 rock to stabilize the ground. The new footings and foundation was poured using high early strength concrete at 3’ thick with a double mat of rebar. This allowed the concrete to set at a fast rate and the new vulcanizer to be set in place immediately.
