Usually, picking up and moving a house is a relativly simple task.
When the house weighs over 200 tons, is made completely of concrete block and is built in an almost unheared of unstaggered design, its a little more difficult.
THE FIRST & ONLY CONCRETE STRUCTURE EVER RELOCATED ON LONG ISLAND.
Summer of 2009, Dawn House & Building Movers moves a 240 ton concrete mansion and 40 ton concrete garage in Sagaponack.
The house built entirely out of concrete block was elevated with 18 hydraulic jacks powered by a Unified Hydraulic jacking Machine built by Modern Hydraulics of Nevada. The house was then pulled forward using advanced gear driven winches mounted on our trucks.
The concrete blocks in the house as well as the garage were built in an very rare interlocking fashion rather then the standard staggered design. This made the house and garage extremely unstable and delicate. Our well known reputation for precision and safety was a primary reason we were hired for this job. To ensure that the house would not crack during the move, we inserted over 40 tons of steel beams underneath the structure and wrapped the perimeter of the house with a steel collar to ensure stability.
This is the only concrete structure ever relocated built in this unstaggered design. Only in the Hamptons!
