Crux Subsurface is a unique drilling company, getting their start with limited and difficult access geotechnical drilling, but in recent years, they have branched out into micropile foundation design and construction. They frequently work for the power sector installing transmission line foundations in locations that most other companies couldn’t access. This photo gallery is on a Power industry publication website, and showcases some of Crux’ work. [Source: Check out the photo gallery at TDWorld via Crux Subsurface. Image: T&D World]

Innovative Foundation System for London Office Building
This has to be one of the most complex geotechnical engineering problems I’ve heard of for a building, if not for any kind of project. For starters, beneath the proposed 10-story office building referred to as Cannon Place lies the Cannon Street Train Station built in 1868. Also beneath the site are walls and foundations of a Roman Governor’s palace. In order to accommodate these features, the building has 21-m cantilevers at each end, with the load bearing happening over two groupings of columns at the 1/3 points. In section it looks quite like a 3-span bridge…without the abutments and stacked 10-stories tall! More after the break. (Images by New Civil Engineer) […]
High altitude foundation construction with Crux
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 […]
