Ralph L. Wadsworth Construction |
| Problem |
The $37 million project required connecting the east and west sides of the valley along a 3 mile stretch of freeway. The project, which included 4 bridge structures, 7 box culverts and mainline paving, required driving 65,000 linear feet of pipe and 40,00 wall feet of sheet piling at the Jordan River Bridge. The original driver used (not I.C.E.) could not penetrate the dense clay and the sheets were eventually cut off. |
| Solution |
Wadsworth was called back by the Utah Department of Transportation to extend the existing sheet wall along the Jordan River. Project Supervisor, Gaylen Stewart talked to I.C.E. to see if there was a solution to the problems encountered the last time around. They rented the I.C.E. Model 44 vibratory driver/extractor for the job. |
| Result |
The I.C.E. Model 44 drove the sheets to grade, through 40 feet of highly dense clay. |
| What the Client Says |
"We're very pleased with the performance of the I.C.E. vibro and wish we had had this setup at the start of the project. It would've saved us a substantial amount of labor and days on our contract! I'm looking forward to using I.C.E. equipment again on our next project." |
