The Union Place mixed-use development in Washington, DC, is supported with 1,000 precast concrete foundation piles from Atlantic Metrocast’s PCI-certified plant in Maryland.
The custom-designed SCC mix used to construct the pilings completely embedded highly-congested reinforcement without the need for vibration, saving production time and costs.
With a 22 to 24 inch spread, the flowability characteristics of the SCC mix was perfect for fabricating the precast piles.
When the finished piles in the storage yard reach their 7-day strength of 6,000 psi, they are loaded onto trucks for transport to the Union Place construction site.
