Park Avenue Tower Building working

The project

The existing parkade at the Park Avenue Tower residential buildings required rehabilitation following the settlement of the supporting soil. Keller was contracted to install a deep foundations solution to support the new parkade and mitigate future settlement.

Keller installed 24 drilled shafts, each 1.3 ft (.4 m) in diameter. The work was carried out in two phases to establish suitable working conditions, with pile locations adjusted in coordination with the project engineer to enhance constructability.
