Situation: The primary challenge of this project was the discovery of very soft soils within the building footprint. Such conditions necessitated a deep foundation solution. The owner was required to install deep foundation helical piles to support required capacities.

‍

Solution: Ram Jack West utilized state-of-the-art equipment to install forty-six (46)

2 7/8" helical piles, meeting all requirements provided by engineer's specifications. The helical piles will support a new exterior retaining wall and interior strip footings.
