In the spring of 2014 DCC was contracted to raise, move, and provide permanent helical piling’s, on some 41 homes flood damaged and below the newly established 100 year flood plain of 136.5 feet to sill. To date DCC has performed complete work on 31 of the 41 homes, and is scheduled to complete the remaining in the spring of 2015. Work on this project has consisted of disconnecting all utilities, securing homes and perishables, relocating homes to provide clearance to install the new eight inch by 36 foot schedule 40 steel helical pilings, raising and relocating homes back to their new foundations, permanent welding of  new home foundations. Re-connecting of utilities, new decks and stairs, gravel backfill, and insulation of ground and utilities was also required.
