A new residential home in Washington, DC. was built on the side of a hill complicating mobilization and equipment issues for the foundation. Segmented helical piers can adjust for slope differential by adding extensions as the new construction piles are installed at different elevations from grade.
Project Summary:
- Helical Pile Type: 1.75″ Square Shaft
- # of Helical Piles: 62
- Location: Washington, DC
- Installation Depth: Various
- Equipment Used: Portable hand-held equipment mini-excavator
- Challenge/Unique Aspect: Working on a steep incline in a crowded urban environment involves major challenges with most other deep foundation systems. Levelift was able to use a small excavator, where possible, and hand-held portable installation equipment in tight spots, to install a helical foundation for this new residence.
