CASE STUDYSIESTA KEY SWIMMING POOL HELICAL FOUNDATION

ANALYSIS

In June of 2022, Coastal Foundation Solutions was hired to aid in developing a helical support foundation for a residential swimming pool on Siesta Key. This area of Sarasota, well known for its premium white sand beaches and tourist destination has continues to be a destination location for beach lovers.

SOLUTION

When the pool contractor was presented with very poor soil conditions at this Siesta Key Location, Coastal Foundation Solutions was contacted to help develop a foundation solution for the pool contractor prior to swimming pool addition slated to take place. After securing a geotechnical exploration report from Universal Engineering Inc. it was determined that helical pilings would be an ideal selection for establishing a proper swimming pool foundation.

RESULT

Once approved, our team mobilized and went to work installing twenty-two (22) helical piles to a depth of 35 feet. This yielded 25 tons of ultimate compression capacity, solidifying a solid foundation for the project’s upcoming construction efforts. We would like to give special thanks to Zen Pools of Southwest Florida for the opportunity to serve this wonderful establishment and look forward to our continued work together on future projects.
