Helcal provides ground improvement solution for south bay development in BOSTON
The South Bay Development located in Dorchester, MA is a mixed-use luxury development featuring 700,000 SF of retail space, 1.2 M SF of mixed-use space, a 130-room hotel, a 60,000 SF movie theatre, and a number of additional restaurants.
The ground improvement solution consisted of Geopier® Rammed Aggregate Pier® Elements(RAPs) for both spread footing support and slab-on-grade support. GeoConcrete® Column Rigid Inclusions (GCCs) were used in areas with thicker organic deposits and high footing bearing pressures.
The soil conditions generally consist of up to 15 feet of loose to medium dense granular fill with ash, slag, cinders, and brick, underlain by up to 10 feet of soft organic silt and followed by medium dense sand and gravel.
