WWVR Phase 1
Rushville Depot Relocation

February 2008 | Basement Foundation & Depot Move

<Back to the Main Page>

Finally, in late 2007, the Depot Relocation project commenced. Maxwell Construction has been busy on site preparing the basement foundation walls and infrastructure for the Depot Move, which was scheduled for Sunday, February 11, 2008. The museum site is located on the northeast corner of Veteran's Memorial Parkway and Highway 121, just south of Connersville, IN.

The new basement foundations walls will frame out utility space for new services, including water mains, sewage ejector pumps and electrical service entrances (above). Placing the formwork required detailed rebar designs (below).

Field verification of the existing building dimensions was conducted to make sure that the building matched up to the foundation in its new location (below).

The depot building beings its 50 mile trek by maneuvering through Rushville (above).
Starting the journey on Highway 44, the depot leaves Rushville behind for its new
home in Connersville (below).

The depot arrived on-site without problems. Getting turned around might be tough (above). The contractor prepared well enough, as the depot is maneuvered one last time prior to being placed into its final location on the new foundation and floor framing (below).
