| HOME DEPOT |  |
|
GOAL: Retain site soils. |
The soils at the site of the new Home Depot in Rhinelander, WI, are of poor quality and the terrain is irregular. The area at the rear of the store falls away severely into a swamp. Zenith Tech engineers were called on to analyze site conditions and provide alternative solutions for the owner. |  |
CHALLENGE: Identify the most economical option. |
The retention options were sheet piling, cast-in-place concrete and masonry unit systems. Each of the alternatives has disadvantages. The owner clearly had the cost to cure uppermost in his mind. The least costly acceptable alternative was a pre-cast masonry unit wall system. |  |
SOLUTION: Client satisfaction. |
Zenith Tech's expertise is in design and construction of sheet piling or cast-in-place concrete systems. Although Zenith Tech was not selected to construct the wall, it provided the engineering solutions that allowed the pre-cast masonry wall to be built. The end result was the most cost-effective solution for the client. |
