Project Description
Pre-Con has performed three demolition projects for the US navy including the abatement and demolition of over 47 structures and removal of 4000 ft of 30″ steel water line. The work was performed on three different project sites, including San Nicolas Island, Point Mugu Air station and Port Hueneme. Much of the work was performed in environmentally sensitive, high security, high traffic areas and at water front locations.
Pre-Con employees worked closely with the base biologist to protect the endangered Night Lizard. Pictured above, a mother lizard with her infant were extracted from the site before demolition.
Included in one of the three demolition projects was the construction of a pre-engineered building and attached storage structure at Port Hueneme. The building was constructed for the Seabee school.
Pre-Con products was able to achieve a recycling rate of over 95% for all three projects. Concrete rubble from the project was transformed into a usable crushed misc. base material and was provided to the Navy and other contractors to be used on the Navy Base for roadway repair.

The main reason this project worked out so well was because of the partnering efforts between Pre-Con and the Government. We were presented with several logistical roadblocks early on in the project, but collectively came up with several contingency plans. The plan was to proceed as normal and only deviate if the need arose, which it could have numerous times. Thankfully, all went smoothly and Pre-Con was able to complete the work well ahead of schedule with little to no impact to the schedule. The primary roadblocks presented were barging and berthing. These two aspects can bring any job to a halt when dealing with the unique logistics of San Nicolas Island.

Pre-Con has shown that they earned the rating by not only being within budget, on time, with no safety mishaps, and no violations, but also with all the extra effort and work they put into this project. Pre-Con has performed much additional work at no extra cost. Such work included additional concrete around the PEB building (PHl44l) and disposal of existing fractured concrete north of the PEB building. Pre-Con has also provided asphalt as infill instead of gravel at BLDG PH425. There was also a drainage problem at BLDG PH8 that was resolved by increasing pavement overlay to reduce storm water ponding between the construction site and the adjacent roadway. Pre-Con also removed and recycled approximately 60 tons of broken concrete waste from the NCTC site and provided an electrical capacity upgrade for future expansions. Pre-con has also relocated seven concrete parking bumpers and installed two additional bollards inside the fenced area of the PEB. Furthermore, Pre-con cleaned out trash, chairs, and desks that were dumped at BLDG PH425 after the contract was awarded. Pre-con has masterfully performed this project and has earned the rating of outstanding.

I have had the privilege to work with Pre-Con Products staff (Kim Pinto, Chris Nestlerode, Mike McHenry, and David Zarraonandia) and they have been the most knowledgeable, thorough, and pleasant professionals! As far as I’m concerned, they are the most outstanding contractors thus far! They have the knowledge and the experience to raise the issues and get them resolved prior to start of any work in order to prevent rework, saving Navy time and money. Look forward to another opportunity to work with them in the near future!
