Installation of Test Piles for South Tower Project

Installation of Test Piles for South Tower Project

The construction of the South Tower involves the installation of a number of piles into the ground. These piles are needed for the building’s foundation. A test pile will be installed on the South Building, nearest to Mt. Vernon Street on Tuesday, March 31 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. This will be done to gain final insight of the structural properties of the ground and confirm pile design and configuration.
