In early 2025, Digging Deep Construction successfully completed a critical excavation project for the new Wesley Chapel Wiregrass Hospital located in Wesley Chapel, FL. The work required precision, adaptability, and the ability to overcome unexpected challenges--hallmarks of Digging Deep's expertise. A full-service utility, excavation, and demolition contractor based in Bradenton, Florida, Digging Deep Construction, LLC specializes in commercial and residential projects, as well as offering services such as site development, utility installation, forestry services, and consulting. 

Initially, a rented ICE® 16VM Variable Moment Vibratory Hammer from International Construction Equipment, Inc. (ICE®) was selected for its vibration-minimizing capabilities, ideal for sensitive construction environments. However, due to incorrect boring reports, the team encountered 4'6' (ft) of hard, thick clay on-site. To adapt to these conditions, the Digging Deep team wisely chose to bring in a robust ICE® 28D Vibratory Hammer. With its weight and driving force, the ICE® 28D was perfectly suited to tackling the challenging subsurface conditions and proved it was essential for driving the 26' (ft) PZ27 sheeting needed for the cofferdam. This cofferdam created a secure enclosure, allowing 25,000 gallon (about 94635.25 L) underground fuel tanks to be installed safely and efficiently. 

Additionally, the project utilized a hydraulic waler system provided by National Trench Safety. This critical system supported the cofferdam structure, ensuring stability during the excavation and installation process. 

International Construction Equipment, Inc. (ICE®) proudly supported this vital project by providing Digging Deep with advanced, high-performance tools. The ICE® 28D's exceptional design allowed the crew to work seamlessly with their crane, highlighting ICE®'s commitment to delivering reliable equipment for any site condition. Powered by durable hydraulic hoses, ICE® equipment ensures optimal performance even in the most demanding environments, reinforcing their reputation for excellence in the construction industry. 

This project at Wesley Chapel Wiregrass Hospital underscores Digging Deep Construction's dedication to meeting challenges head-on, delivering quality infrastructure that supports essential community developments. By combining innovative technology, skilled teamwork, and a proactive approach, Digging Deep once again demonstrated why they are a trusted partner in the field of construction. Fantastic work, to the entire Digging Deep Construction team! International Construction Equipment, Inc. (ICE®) is excited to collaborate with contractors such as Digging Deep, who are committed to excellence and innovation. Bravo!
