1,050 Turnkey Drilled Shafts
20,750 Linear Feet

The distribution center in Hutchins, TX consisted of 1,050 24” drilled shafts of varying depths, totaling over 20,750 linear feet. Vantage provided the design for all shafts by performing LPile analysis for all shafts on the project. All shafts required various penetrations into competent limestone. For cost saving & constructability purposes at the request of the GC/Owner, Vantage performed above grade forming of 434 shafts from 16”-20” above grade. This effort allowed the concrete contractor to begin forming pier caps & slabs without the need to excavate. Vantage was able to install these 434 shafts in under a month, reaching up to 495 linear feet drilled & poured in a day. Vantage utilized three drill rigs to complete the project on time despite the unseasonal rain though the second half of the project.
