This is an awesome limited access foundation project from Crux Subsurface! They designed and installed micropile foundations for new steel tubular towers to replace old steel latice structures. The high altitude (about 10,000 feet) meant limited construction season window, and challenges with the size of helicopter needed for loads. They also provided an innovative steel cap design to the micropiles, thereby avoiding the need to bring in additional concrete and rebar for a traditional micropile cap. Check out the excellent video below. [Source: Read more about the project at Crux Subsurface. Image: Crux]
