| International Arrivals Terminal at JFK International Airport |  | | Underpinning & Foundation Skanska was selected to perform this $7 million contract after the original pile contractor defaulted and was removed from the project. The work consisted of installing more than 1,800, 180-ton capacity piles and the re-driving of more than 25 piles installed by the defaulted contractor.
Underpinning professionals recognized the inherent inefficiencies of the original pile design and submitted a value engineering substitution that proved to be superior in all respects.
The work was performed using state-of-the-art hydraulic pile-driving equipment built in Finland to Underpinning’s specifications. High-efficiency hydraulic pile hammers, a superior pile type alternate, and a depth of resources that allowed | Underpinning to field multiple pieces of equipment gave the owner an eight-fold increase in production making up nearly six months in the schedule. | | | |
