DGI-Menard Provides CMC Solution for Apartment Complex in Lebanon, PA

When the Willows Senior Apartments were planned to be constructed on soft ground in Lebanon, PA, it was determined that the loads imposed from the structure would create total and differential settlements detrimental to the service life of the building. DGI-Menard solved the problem by designing a ground improvement scheme using Controlled Modulus Columns that kept settlement to within project tolerances, ensured the soundness of the building subgrade and minimized ground improvement costs to the owner.
