Foundation for residential building

The construction of a new 8-storey residential building in Brooklyn, NY, covers a total area of approximately 5,388 square meters and includes 69 residential apartments. To meet the building's foundation requirements in the tight site conditions, while keeping vibration to a minimum, GeoStructures, Inc. put in a strong and effective foundation system using 216 Grouted TRM Ductile Iron Piles, employing the TRM 118/7.5 pile with the TRM 220 diameter grouted pile shoes.

These piles were installed at an average depth of 9.5 meters and were subjected to a full-scale load test, confirming their compression capacity of up to 331 kN. The rapid installation process took a mere 3 weeks, offering significant cost savings and speed advantages compared to traditional micro-piles.
