Rainwater Collaborates with Bobbitt Construction on New Build for Pender County HHS

BUSINESS: BOBBITT CONSTRUCTION
CATEGORY: MUNICIPAL
LOCATION: BURGAW, NC
SQ. FOOTAGE: 80,000
CONSTRUCTION TYPE: NEW CONSTRUCTION
PARTNERS: BUTLER MANUFACTURING™ | BLUESCOPE CONVENTIONAL STEEL SERVICES

Rainwater Construction Company provided steel erection services for the construction of a new 80,000-square-foot health and human services building for Pender County. Working under tight deadlines and a demanding schedule, Rainwater’s scope of work was led by Butler® peer builder, Bobbitt Construction, and involved extensive welding and careful planning to address the site’s sandy soil conditions. To accommodate the challenging terrain, the Rainwater team adjusted their strategy by utilizing an all-terrain crane instead of the originally planned forklifts.

Despite site challenges and steel delivery delays, the Rainwater crew collaborated closely with the Bobbitt onsite team, adjusting sequences and modifying the schedule to keep the project on track. The steel erection phase was completed in two months with zero recordable safety incidents.

While safety is always priority one for the Rainwater crew, it was a particular area of focus during this project, as the site also served as an OSHA training and teaching location.

PROJECT SCOPE
  • 80K Square Foot New Construction Featuring Butler® and BlueScope Conventional Steel
  • Technical Complexity Due to Sandy Soil Conditions
  • Aggressive Schedule 
  • Build Functioned as an OSHA Training Site
PROJECT RESULTS

“With steel delivery delays and difficult site conditions, this project threw us some curveballs, but Rainwater took it in stride and delivered the structure on time and on budget. Having a resource like Rainwater that can pivot when plans change is critical to our success. As a steel erection partner, we can’t recommend them enough.”

-Austin Nastasi, Senior Project Manager at Bobbitt Construction
