Every successful multifamily project starts with a strong foundation. At Hale Crossing in Newport, New Hampshire, challenging soil conditions required EGCON and the project team to identify a solution that would support the building while also controlling costs, limiting site disruption, and maintaining the construction schedule.

Every successful project starts with a strong foundation. At Hale Crossing in Newport, New Hampshire, EGCon faced a common but critical construction challenge: weak and unsuitable site soils. Rather than taking the costly and disruptive route of excavating and replacing those materials, the team used an innovative ground improvement solution that allowed the project to move forward efficiently and responsibly—Rammed Aggregate Piers (RAPs).
