We are proud to be featured in this month’s project spotlight in partnership with ! ⭐️
Project Overview: ℹ️
McGue Excavating was hired as the site work contractor and to install ductile iron piles (DIPS) at 230 Friend Street, Boston, just around the corner from T.D. Garden. This site will be home to future condominiums.
What made this project challenging? ⛏
The lot was extremely constrained, adjacent to numerous existing buildings. There were major geotechnical burdens to overcome such as structurally unsound soil conditions.
Outcome and What is Next: 🦺👷👷♀️
After completion of the load test, our team successfully installed 33 DIPS to depths of 63 to 89 feet, in under a week!
Next up for our team is foundation work and underground utilities!
