55th St. Tower Chicago, IL
Micropile Foundation System
A new cellular transmission tower was slated for construction in a rail yard. While the foundation design called for three 40’ caissons 3’6” in diameter, concrete, timber and abandoned train rails proved to be insurmountable obstructions.
Drilled micropiles were selected as an alternate approach. MixOnSite drilled down through the obstructions and installed six 80 kip micropiles to a depth of 65’ to support the tower.
