A new home was constructed on the eastern shore of Long Island. Driven piles were ruled out due to sensitivity to neighboring properties near the site. Helical piles were specified as the deep foundation to eliminate vibration and spoils.
Project Summary:
- Helical Pile Type: RS 2875.203 Wall
- # of Helical Piles: 32
- Location: Mattituck, NY
- Installation Depth: 25′
- Ultimate Pile Capacity: 65 Kips
- Equipment Used: Takeuchi TB245 Excavator, DIGGA MM10K Drive, Marian Torque Indicator
- Challenge/Unique Aspect: Ten foot leads and extensions were used since there were no headroom issues. This allowed for less material staged on site and a quicker, less costly foundation while further alleveating inconveinence to neighbors.
