Geotechnical contractor Bauer performed work to upgrade the foundations of a historic building on an island in the middle of the River Neckar in Esslingen, Germany. The historic carpenter’s workshop will become a restaurant and market hall thanks to the 70 m long, 5 m deep anchored secant pile cutoff wall around the outside of the building and a soldier pile retaining wall carefully constructed within the building.
