PROJECT OVERVIEW
Morris-Shea, an industry-leading deep foundation contractor, completed installation of approximately 8,000 DeWaal piles to be used as deep support for the new Austal USA Module Manufacturing Facility. The job site for the single story high bay structure is located at a waterside lot adjacent to Dunlap Drive in Mobile, Alabama. The DeWaal Pile System, a drilled displacement pile, is ideal for use as deep foundation in the harbor’s subsurface high groundwater environment.
