To enhance the Coney Island Boardwalk post-Hurricane Sandy, a new access point near the Cyclone Roller Coaster on West 10th Street was planned. Anticipating heavy foot traffic, a deep foundation system was necessary to support the design loads. MPS helical piles were selected for their minimal disruption to existing structures and pedestrian areas. Galvin Brothers Inc. successfully installed 161 helical piles, ensuring the new access point was ready for the summer of 2016. Read more on the case study at: https://lnkd.in/e49Cx_Ma

Shallow Mount Bollards – why do we need them? ?? Shallow Mount Bollards are perfect for application within security schemes that have very limited foundation depth available, such as bridge decks, suspended slabs and within cities where underground services are dense and close to the surface. By using shallow foundation bollards, you can forgo the need to carry out structural changes to your site, like arranging for underground services to be moved, which can be labour intensive and extremely costly, causing inevitable delays to a project. ATG Access offers a wide range of Shallow Mount Bollards, across a span of foundation depths and crash test certifications – helping you to secure your site, without worrying about the implications of limited foundation depth.

Why do we need Masonry Support? ?? Masonry support is necessary to provide loadbearing support for external masonry facades at horizontal movement joints. Customised support helps to prevent cracking in the fa?ade due to several natural factors, such as heat and slab movement.??? ? Here's the rundown from our CEO Henry Chart ?

?? We often see cavity trays being used at DPC level between the external masonry cladding and the timber frame. Although this may seem like a sensible approach for protecting against water ingress, it can impede on the drainage and ventilation.

The DSM System has set an unrivaled performance benchmark as the go-to choice for sealing parking decks and stadium expansion joints. Unlike traditional methods such as extruded rubber seals or 'caulk-and-backer rod', DSM offers numerous advantages. Even more so, it doesn't experience compression-set issues and doesn't rely solely on adhesion in tension for its exceptional performance.

One of the great benefits of precast concrete is it’s resilient. Being resilient can offer a long service life, be low maintenance, and provide structural durability. DC Blox in Alabama is a great example of resiliency. The precast concrete shell provides blast security ratings and the ability to withstand 150 mph winds. Read more about this award-winning structure: https://lnkd.in/egZDung During PCI Precast Days, we will highlight a specific benefit of precast concrete. Stay tuned to read about tomorrow’s benefit, and follow #precastdays to see which plants are opening their doors. #howprecastbuilds #precastprotectslife #precastconcrete #precastbuilding #precastis #PCIprecastdays

Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) plans to construct up to 24 dedicated outdoor pickleball courts at the Warren G. Magnuson Park in Sand Point, formerly the site of the Sand Point Naval Air Station. SPR is hoping to break ground in January 2026 and have the courts open by the end of that year. The funding plan allocated $2.1 million for the planning, design, and construction of a dedicated pickleball court facility. This conceptual design imagines multiple outdoor courts, stadium seating, new picnic tables and restroom facilities. GeoTest’s geotechnical department recently completed a geotechnical evaluation for the project site. The resulting geotechnical report is being used in the project’s design and construction phases. #pickleball #seattle #geotechnical #engineering
