Independence Excavating (IX) is currently
working at the Cleveland Museum of Art on the
final phase of the museum’s expansion project.
IX and our sister companies have been involved
with the expansion project in various phases
for over eight years! Previous work completed
includes demolition, sheeting and shoring,
dewatering, mass excavation and backfill, utility
installation, and site restoration. Our current
project includes excavation and the installation of
concrete foundations, walls, and slabs associated
with the new atrium and west addition. The
Cleveland Museum of Art expansion project
has given our company a chance to show
our versatility over the years—and with great
success!
Our crews will be working hard through the tough
winter months to complete most of the building
shell by spring of 2011. The museum is slated to
open the new addition in 2012.
Independence Excavating would like to take the
opportunity to thank the Cleveland Museum of
Art and Panzica/Gilbane for the opportunity to
work on another unique project. We would also
like to thank all of our crews who have worked
so hard on all the past phases to date. We will
continue your efforts and finish up strong!
