Pile drivin’

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

After an exhausting exploration of foundation options (thanks for the work Mike, Craig, Jorge and Manual), we have concluded that for our specific site conditions, cantilevered soldier piles will be the most cost effective approach.  Not cheap by any means, just the most cost effective option we have.  I’ll post a drawing when we have one, but at present it looks like we’ll have about 22 steel piles that are cantilevering out of the ground between 5′ and 20′ depending on their location.
