Tailoring each pile size and length to
each column left no excess resistance
for piles with location issues due to the
penetration of 20-50 ft (6-15 m) of fill.
Additionally, occasional boulders in the

termination of piles intended to be
founded in lower strata. A feedback loop
was established that consisted of
regular, cyclic communication between
field personnel and pile designers, the
general contractor, and the project
structural engineers. This created an
efficient process to address any
requirements for production approval
or any required corrective action,
without disruption to the project flow
and schedule.
Additional Work
Due in part to the success and efficiency
of the des i gn and ins t a l l a t i on
completed for the new KCI terminal,
Berkel was also selected as the
subcontractor to design and install
foundations for a new parking garage
located directly east of the new
terminal. Using the knowledge gained
during the testing and production
phases of the terminal project led to the
rapid development of a deep foundation
design for the parking garage that,

again, maximized the efficiency of the
overall foundation cost and schedule.
As the parking garage generally had
more consistent load distribution
across the site than the terminal, as
well as lighter shear resistance
requirements at individual column
locations, a single-diameter 16 in (406

project phase. Overall, about 4,700 piles
were installed at the combined
terminal and parking facilities.
