Project required the drilling of thirty-four 17.5” diameter pilot holes for future 96” diameter pump shafts that would be drilled utilizing blind bore techniques. The pilot holes were drilled in two passes with the initial 8” hole being drilled using [ Read More… ]
Micropile construction commences with a detailed review and understanding of the micropile construction specification and project drawings. Dimensions of permanent materials including casing, all-thread-bar are common for all types of micropiles/ For rock bonded micropiles, the minimum embedment into rock [ Read More… ]
The project required drilling two 8” diameter holes for the installation of new waterstops between the selected monolith joints within the dam structure. The holes were required to precisely follow the vertical joints between the monoliths and to deviate no [ Read More… ]
The Kentucky Lock is an existing 600 foot long navigation lock located on the Tennessee River near Grand Rivers, Kentucky. The US Army Corps of Engineers constructed a new 1,200 foot long navigation lock landward of the existing lock. The [ Read More… ]
The limited mobility grout injected into void spaces within soil or rock, soft soils, or the soil-filled cavities of the bedrock, improved the subsurface soil and rock conditions by filling the void spaces and replacing soft, loose soils with high [ Read More… ]
Anchor construction commences with a detailed review and understanding of the anchor construction specification and project drawings. Dimensions and properties of permanent materials including all-thread-bar, plates and grout are determined. Additionally, for rock bonded anchors, the minimum embedment into rock, [ Read More… ]
This project called for the installation of 278 high-capacity, post-tensioned, multi-strand rock anchors. The anchors ranged in size up to 61-strands with test loads approaching 3000 kips. The anchors were installed in 15-inch diameter boreholes to deviation tolerances of less [ Read More… ]
