Scope Of Work
Sea & Shore was selected to design and construct temporary excavation support and underpinning as part of the $45M expansion of this hospital. Temporary excavation heights of greater than 30ft were retained using soldier pile and timber lagging with multiple levels of grouted tiebacks. Underpinning of the existing three-story Birthing Center to allow excavation depths of 20ft for new foundation construction was accomplished with a complex jet grout and soil nail system to support both vertical building loads and lateral earth pressures. Sea & Shore also constructed multiple vertical tie-down anchors as part of the seismic design of the new building. Sea & Shore performed all site work operations including excavation of approximately 20,000 tons of soil, dewatering of silty, subgrade soils, deep utility and drainage connections, and general paving and site improvement.
