This was a challenging site because all equipment and personnel had to be brought to the site by barges.
We used 7” casing extended through the overburden material, approximately 15’ deep and a minimum of 15’ into solid rock. #10 Williams, epoxy coated bars were grouted in place.
Our portable drill was moved into position by hand due to the limited access.
All the drilling was performed using down the hole hammers with an underreamimg bit system.

Drove 40’ long, 8” diameter schedule 80 pipe piles to refusal for building footings
The piles were driven by a Side Grip Pile Driver, SG45v Movax. This is a vibratory hammer with the latest technology to mitigate uncontrolled vibrations when starting and stopping the vibrating motors.
A DH-15 impact hammer was also used as necessary to achieve additional load. This hammer can be used at different angles and the amount of energy transmitted to the pile can be adjusted by a computer inside the cabin.

Micropiles were installed to add support to the building as it was being remodeled. We used track equipment where access was available. Several locations with restricted access were approached with hand carried equipment.
Some of the drilling equipment had to be dismantled and reassembled at each micropile location in order to perform the work.
Most of the micropiles were installed using the injection bored technique.
Concrete caps and grade beams were installed (by others) on top of our micropiles.
