Bayonne Crossing
Project Details:
Owner: Lowe’s Companies, Inc. and others
General Contractor: Cameron Bayonne Urban Renewal, LLC
Duration of Work: 16 weeks
Subsurface Conditions: Significant fill underlain by several layers of silts and organic soils
Approximate Key Quantities: 4,700 Controlled Modulus Columns (CMC)® rigid inclusions
Project Overview:
Ground Conditions:
Solution:
A large-scale area load test was performed on the Lowe’s site to verify the design parameters for the high surface loads. Hundreds of CMC Rigid Inclusions were instrumented with strain gauges, piezometers and settlement plates to test the settlement surcharge over time. With the successful completion of the area load test, Menard used three rigs simultaneously to install the CMC Rigid Inclusions on a fast-track schedule, saving the client time and money versus the use of traditional piles for deep foundations.
Because of the potential for contamination at the site, the fact that the CMC installation method only generates a minor amount of spoils was a major benefit on this project.
