Monopole Footer for National Grid

Westside Construction Group recently completed a critical monopole footer project for National Grid in Syracuse, NY. This project required precise excavation, meticulous rebar embedding, and concrete pouring to ensure a stable and durable foundation for the monopole.

Project Details

• Owner: National Grid
• Location: Syracuse, NY
• Scope of Work: Monopole Footer Construction

Project Objectives

The primary objectives of this project were to:

1. Excavate to Depth: Carefully excavate the site to the required depth for the monopole footer.
2. Complete Bottom Pad with Embedded Rebar and Threaded Rod: Install rebar and threaded rod into the bottom pad, ensuring structural integrity and stability.
3. Protect Threaded Rod: Implement measures to protect the threaded rod during the construction process.
4. Pour Remaining Concrete with Vertical Forms: Use vertical forms to pour the remaining concrete to a fixed elevation, achieving the specified design requirements.

Challenges and Solutions

Precise Excavation

Achieving the required depth and dimensions for the monopole footer necessitated precise excavation.

Solution: Our skilled excavation team utilized advanced equipment to ensure accurate depth and dimensions, laying the groundwork for a stable foundation.

Rebar Embedding and Threaded Rod Installation

Embedding rebar and threaded rods accurately was crucial for the footer’s structural integrity.

Solution: Our team meticulously installed the rebar and threaded rods in the bottom pad, adhering to engineering specifications to ensure maximum strength and stability.

Protecting Threaded Rod

Protecting the threaded rod during the construction process was essential to maintain its integrity.

Solution: We implemented protective measures, including specialized coverings and careful handling procedures, to safeguard the threaded rods throughout the construction.

Pouring Concrete with Vertical Forms

Pouring the remaining concrete with vertical forms required precision to reach the fixed elevation.

Solution: Our concrete team used high-quality vertical forms and precise pouring techniques to ensure the concrete reached the fixed elevation, resulting in a robust and level monopole footer.
