Purple Sky Ranch

May 1, 2025 - Sanderson, TX

Our Purple Sky Ranch project in Sanderson, Texas demonstrates our expertise in specialized infrastructure development. This project featured two distinct components: a reinforced vehicle crossing and residential foundation preparation, both requiring precise engineering and construction techniques.

Vehicle Crossing Implementation

The project included the construction of a reinforced ford across a dry creek bed using advanced geocell technology:

  • Geocell System Installation
    • 8"x8' geocell containment system deployment
    • Granite aggregate fill for superior load distribution
    • Natural drainage pattern preservation
    • All-weather accessibility establishment
  • Engineering Considerations
    • Load distribution optimization
    • Aggregate migration prevention
    • Hydraulic flow maintenance
    • Long-term stability assurance

Foundation Preparation

The residential foundation work required precise execution of engineering specifications:

  • Pier Installation
    • 24 concrete piers drilled to specified depths
    • Engineering drawing compliance
    • Soil condition accommodation
    • Structural load requirements fulfillment
  • Technical Implementation
    • Precise placement verification
    • Depth specification adherence
    • Quality control measures
    • Structural integrity assurance
