At Thorcon Shotcrete and Shoring, we believe in providing our customers with a variety of solutions for their shoring and foundation challenges which can fit every budget and time frame. To this end, we offer many slope stabilization options, including the ever-popular and increasingly affordable solution of micropiles. In previous blogs, we’ve covered the cost-effectiveness of micropiles and soil nails, and this month we’re happy to find a recent example of micropiles coming to the rescue in an engineering project.
It might just be a retail development in an Ontario town, but the Pearson Plaza has made the news this month. It has been a multi-million dollar project in Elliot Lake which has been going on for three years. The project has faced delays due to the hilly terrain of the area and the flat nature of the design. The contractors also ran into trouble when digging the foundation because they encountered more rock than expected. However, the project was “able to make up some time by using microplies” for further structural construction. The development is set to open in the spring of 2016 according to NorthernOntarioBusiness.com.
Those kinds of flexible solutions are exactly the sort of possibilities we provide our clients. From our headquarters here in Littleton, Colorado, we assign valuable engineers to each project in order to offer customized solutions to our customers to meet their budgets and time frames. We service clients in the Denver area, all of Colorado, as well as states in the surrounding region.
