Description

For this project we installed over 950 drilled shafts along the PA Turnpike Northeast Extension for new noise walls. This was a big project, so at times we needed two drilling rigs on site at once. Also, we used both a day and a night shift crew to keep up with an accelerated schedule. The majority of the holes were 42” in diameter, and all holes had a minimum rock socket of 5’ deep. We drilled into hard limestone bedrock.
