An existing one-story warehouse with office space in Brooklyn, NY was subject to a structural remediation to add a second story, while expanding the building’s footprint. Weak soils required a deep foundation with enhanced lateral capacity and access was limited. The restricted access and sensitivity to neighbors’ concerns required a no-vibration pile and low-impact equipment.
