Scope

Michels completed its first foundations project in Seattle by installing 23 permanent soldier piles and 768 square feet of lagging for an earth retention wall at Yesler Terrace.

The crew conquered the challenges of a small site and a steep slope to complete the project in one week. Michels developed a plan to set up a crane below the wall and a top drive drill rig above the wall to safely execute construction.
