A Chapter of Sacramento's History is Reclaimed
Built in 1910-1911, the Marshall Hotel is a historic monument residing in the heart of Sacramento. Made of century-old brick and steel, this landmark revealed the tale of a remarkable past. The Challenge: Preserve 5-stories of ornate original brick façade as the focal point for a new 11-story hotel. The Solution: 4 design-build systems comprised of Helical Piles, Drilled Pipe Piles, Auger Cast Piles, and Cantilever Beam Shoring. Through each challenge, the collaboration of highly skilled engineers at Geocon, Buehler, and Farrell, along with Davis REED's team, successfully reclaimed a piece of Sacramento’s history.

|
|
Keller North America encountered unexpected ground conditions while working at a tailings dam in Ontario requiring a 40 m-long cut-off wall up to 11 m deep. Due to the existence of cobbles and boulders underlain by bedrock, the client and Keller determined an interlocking pipe (O-pile) system as the optimum solution. Work began in October 2020 and was completed mid-November. This was the first O-pile installation performed by Keller North America.
