PROJECT: MULTISTORY BUILDING FOUNDATION

Deep foundation piles for the Ritz-Carlton Residences in Bonita Springs, Florida will support two 20 story towers and a parking podium. Morris-Shea installed 1,406 De-Waal piles throughout the project site. Project specifica-tions required two successful 14 inch and two 18 inch static load tests and one lateral load test. The Morris-Shea crew completed the project one month early. Two advanced Morris-Shea rigs, including the larg-est deep foundation multifunctional drill rig in use in North America, were utilized for this project. DeWaal DWP piles were drilled to depths up to 133 feet and then chipped and cut upon completion of drilling. Pile installation was completed on December 19, 2023. Pile cutting/chipping commenced on November 27, 2023 and concluded on January 20, 2024. Morris-Shea com-pleted pile cutting ahead of schedule.
