Innovation on the Isle of Ascension

Solving Problems During a Pandemic

In June of 2020, amidst a global pandemic, D-Mar General Contracting and Development was called upon to build and install two new refrigerated cooler boxes for International Restaurant Distributors, one of the island’s primary suppliers of food services. Beyond the remote location, these cold storage facilities came with some unique requirements. They both needed rated super flooring to allow for the use of fully-loaded pallet trucks inside the cooling facilities while also providing the necessary insulation and cooling requirements.

Changes in specs that lead to more confined workspaces and the need for quarantine procedures were only a few that the D-Mar was able to work seamlessly and efficiently around.

Challenges Met and Then Some

While completing this job, Wolf Creek Federal Services had taken notice of the D-Mar team’s quality of work, adaptability, and work speed. They connected with the D-Mar team and hired them to rehabilitate four wastewater treatment tanks – a project requiring two additional weeks of work on the island.

If that was not enough, Wolf Creek then asked D-Mar for one more project. The Command Hill dormitory rooms required some much-needed renovation. D-Mar once again stepped to the plate with innovative thinking and planning to complete all 11 dormitory rooms with supplies and materials readily available.
