Construction Technology
In May 2012, Fermi 2 received the U.S. nuclear energy industry’s highest accolade, the Top Industry Practice (TIP) award, from the Nuclear Energy Institute. The recognition was made possible by Mid-American Group’s innovative and safety-driven solution, which utilized a robotic dry ice system to address a critical operational challenge.
Fermi 2 needed to clean contamination from hard-to-access HVAC ductwork. Our team provided the cutting-edge technology and skilled personnel necessary to complete the task safely and efficiently, setting a new standard for industry best practices.

A slice can be taken from the 3-D data to show the exact depth and travel path of an underground Obstruction.
This shows an 8″ HDPE pipe buried at a depth starting of about 2.7′ below the surface.
WATER STORAGE TANK LOCATION USING GPR
The GRP features radar integrated with Global Positioning Satellites (GPS), enabling seamless data transfer directly into Google Earth. This allows the precise location and depth of underground obstructions identified during a GPR analysis to be stored and plotted on Google Earth. These records can be used for creating detailed drawings or documenting subsurface conditions with accuracy and ease.
