Failing Slab Repair for United Air Cargo Facility-Video

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Keller repaired a settling slab at an active United Air Cargo facility in Newark, New Jersey, which had to remain open around the clock. The phased project required low-emission equipment that fit through loading docks and under low ceilings, while avoiding buried electrical conduits and minimizing disruption. Keller installed helical piles 30–33 feet deep, providing a compact, quiet, vibration-free solution with little to no spoil. Their small equipment footprint and flexible pile-section lengths made phased mobilization economical and practical. Helical piles worked well in the site’s dense sand, though their use depends on suitable soil conditions and can be limited by very stiff soils or obstructions.
