As nearly half the site was inaccessible for geotechnical analysis before work began, we were not surprised to encounter challenging soil conditions. Groundwater levels were higher than anticipated, resulting in unstable soil conditions which were addressed by installing 1,500-feet of sheet piles in addition to the planned cylindrical piles.
Our team was responsible for all clearing, grubbing, trenching, excavation, backfilling and piling as well as the installation of site services. We constructed a gabion wall for soil erosion control, relocated electrical utilities and installed water, sanitary and storm pipes. Additionally, we relocated electrical works, consulting with others responsible for locating new electrical utilities.
