Project Overview
Westside Construction Group completed the site work required to add new EV charging infrastructure at an active travel center in Sayre, Oklahoma. The project involved excavation, conduit trenching, asphalt removal, concrete pads and sidewalks, and bollard installation to support charger foundations and safe vehicle access. Work was phased and coordinated around ongoing travel‑center operations so customers and staff could continue using the site throughout construction.
Prepare the Site for EV Charging
Excavate and grade the work area to receive new EV charger pads and associated site improvements without disrupting existing site drainage or traffic patterns.
Install Foundations and Access
Place reinforced concrete pads, sidewalks, and ADA access routes to support chargers, bollards, and pedestrian circulation for long‑term use.
Coordinate with Electrical Teams
Establish trench paths, conduit routing, and pad layouts in advance so electrical contractors could install feeders, raceways, and equipment without rework.
Maintain Travel-Center Operations
Sequence work, barricades, and access routes so the travel center could remain open and functional for customers, trucks, and staff during construction.
Protect Equipment and Users
Install bollards, anchors, and embedded sleeves as specified to safeguard EV equipment and define safe parking and charging zones.
Restore the Site to a Clean Condition
Backfill, compact, and restore disturbed areas, including asphalt, concrete, and surrounding surfaces, leaving the site clean and ready for final electrical work and commissioning.
Conclusion
The Pilot Flying J EV charging project demonstrates Westside Construction Group’s ability to perform detailed site and concrete work in a busy commercial environment. By coordinating closely with electrical partners and maintaining safe, open operations for the traveling public, Westside delivered a durable, EV‑ready installation that supports the expansion of charging infrastructure at a national travel‑center brand.
