Joint Base Andrews - Sink Hole Repair

Because of a sinkhole that developed on the airfield at Joint Base Andrews in Prince Georges County, Maryland, Asher Construction Inc. took on an emergency repair project requiring 160 Liner Feet of Special Design 84 inch Diameter RCP (Reinforced Concrete Pipe). CP&P’s Jessup facility produced the Special 84 inch Diameter Pipe, meeting their needed delivery date beginning in September and finishing with the final loads arriving the first week of October.
