Crux Subsurface, Inc. of Spokane, WA was recently awarded a contract by San Diego Gas and Electric to provide design and installation of micropile foundations at 16 tower locations along a 7 mile stretch of power line for a wood to steel replacement project. Crux is best known for their difficult access and extreme access geotechnical construction and geotechnical investigation work, including helicopter access in rugged terrain which seems to be the case on this project. The work is scheduled to begin this month. [Source: National Driller. Image: National Driller]
