FEATURE ARTICLE
Foundation Reuse Is the Future
Engineers and owners widely recognize
the benefits of foundation reuse - cost
sav ings , reduced cons t ruc t i on
schedules and reduced environmental
impacts, among others. Yet for many
projects with existing foundations
identified as reusable, reuse is an idea
that is discussed at length before cold
feet prevail. To address this disconnect,
Deep Foundations Institute (DFI) formed
the Foundation Reuse Task Force in
2021, which intends to promote reuse,
leveraging experience among DFI
members and collaborating across
pertinent committees. Indeed, the task
force includes about 40 members drawn
from the Subsurface Characterization
for Deep Foundations, Sustainability
and Testing and Evaluation committees.
One of the first orders of business for
the task force was to create a database of
successful reuse projects, developing
short summary documents highlighting
the database projects and recruiting
reuse-focused presentations for the ITS
Money program. Solid progress has
been made on each front: the case
history database includes 12 cases so
far; the first three summary documents
were recently published to DFI's
website and foundation reuse projects
have been well represented among the
past year's ITS Money program.
The reuse case history summary
d o c ume n t s a r e a v a i l a b l e a t
www.dfi.org/foundation-reusecase-histories;
each of the three is also
discussed below. The summary
documents demonstrate the feasibility
and benefits of foundation reuse. The
documents are therefore a useful tool
for foundation engineers to share with
owners, structural engineers and
anyone else who may be hesitant to
pursue foundation reuse.
The task force continues to welcome
new members and anyone interested in
joining can contact Andy Boeckmann.
The task force is also eager to highlight
additional reuse success stories. Anyone
with case history information to share is
also encouraged to contact Boeckmann.

Port Reconstruction
Starting in 2015, the port of Charleston,
South Carolina, underwent a major
upgrade to accommodate larger
container vessels. These larger vessels
require larger cranes with significant
increases in foundation loading. Reuse
