Cyntech solves contaminated soil issue on Transmission line project

Transmission line upgrade requiring foundation redesign utilizing groups of high capacity helical piles, eliminating excavations of contaminated soils, while allowing custom pile sections to overcome overhead, lateral and underground installations restrictions.

-The Southern Reinforcement Project (SRP) 138 kV lines being upgraded to 230 kV lines, located across the Delaware River from Philadelphia, PA.

-Segments 8, 10 & 11 of SRP include 35 new structures (H-Frame and Monopoles) which were replaced to accommodate the higher capacity lines.

-The foundations required to support these larger structures were originally designed as 6-10 foot diameter x 20-50ft deep caissons.  While installing the first caisson, the soils were deemed contaminated, and the project adopted a ‘no excavation’ policy.

-Cyntech re-designed the foundations as helical pile clusters, offering no impact, no vibration, displacement installations eliminating costly handling and disposal of contaminated spoils.

-Ranging from (6-20) 12.75” OD helical piles per foundation, Cyntech utilized structure specific geotechnical information to recommend the most economical helical configuration for each structure.

-The majority of the installations occurred under the existing transmission lines.  Cyntech customized the fabrication of the pile designs in order to allow for tough installation conditions.

-Adding to the installation restrictions, most of the transmission line is located in an active railroad right of way, and often the installations occurred between railroad tracks and a state freeway.  This greatly reduced the access of installation equipment to install the designed pile batters and splays.

-Cyntech designed and fabricated a high capacity U-Joint, which allowed bi-axial movement of the drive head.  The installation equipment (45ton excavator) was effectively able to install all piles in a cluster regardless of batter or splay angle, from one location.

-The production phase spanned approximately 13 weeks, during which a total of 632 high capacity helical piles were installed, ranging from 30ft to 60ft lengths.
