Sentara General Hospital

Virginia Beach, VA | General Contractor: Whiting-Turner Contracting Company

Worked with the project team to develop a deep foundation system that could be installed inside of an active hospital. Access for traditional rigs was unavailable and work areas were directly adjacent critical surgery areas that needed to continue undisturbed. A skid-mounted rig with a sliding mast was fabricated to install (50) 2.875" helical piles with ultimate capacity of 50 kips compression, 24 kips tension, and 1.6 kips in lateral.

American Civil War Museum

Richmond, VA | General Contractor: Whiting-Turner Contracting Co.

Designed and installed a total of (162) 4.5" diameter hollow bar micro piles with a 5' embedment into rock. Piles were designed for an ultimate load of 150 kips and with an increased factor of safety in order to eliminate the requirement for a pile load test. Worked with the GC to take special precautions around the remnants of the existing ruin walls and adjacent historical buildings, maximizing the preservation of the resources while allowing the construction to take place with least impact to means and methods.

TFI designed and installed an excavation shoring system to facilitate construction of a multi-story residential building with below grade parking. In order to maximize the usable space on site, approximately 8,800sf of soldier pile & timber lagging shoring walls were installed "online" which provided soil retention and served as one-sided forms for cast-in-place basement walls.
