Helical Pile Foundation solution for Gantry Crane installation

When Quezon Power Facility Philippines was preparing to install a Gantry Crane they were faced with a few obstacles that deviated from conventional deep foundation solutions to support the project.

Challenged with the absence of information on soil composition and underground impediments, along with limited access to the area and the inability to relocate equipment, the Project/Design Engineer decided that CHANCE® helical piles might be the ideal solution for the project.

After training a local installation crew, the project was successfully completed using 135 helical piles, lightweight equipment, and an extendable boom.
