Renovation work included reinforcement of the building’s pile-supported foundation and columns in order to support a higher roof load given 75 Moulton Street’s state-of-the-art HVAC, roofing and facade upgrades; Helical Drilling installed high-capacity STELCOR® micropiles, an optimal solution for achieving high axial load capacity in limited access and overhead clearance applications such as existing buildings. STELCOR® micropiles can be efficiently installed with no vibration or spoils, ideal for repositioning of existing buildings. The piles are smaller and more space-efficient than traditional piles, and offer a lower overall cost per kip of support. Helical’s innovative approach was instrumental towards the creation of the state-of-the-art 75 Moulton Street, which features top-quality infrastructure and a sleek new insulated metal panel facade. Lab and R&D space at 75 Moulton Street is now available for lease. The following is a photograph of STELCOR® micropile installation at 75 Moulton Street:
