A.H. Beck installs auger cast piles for a refinery in the NAG OR project in Baytown, Texas under Exxon Mobile

Overview:

NAG OR Project scope consisted of installing a total of 78 auger cast piles 24 inches in diameter to depths ranging from 61 to 69 feet long to support expansions to two existing pipe racks. Working within and adjacent to active units within the refinery provided a logistical challenge to meet required milestones but the schedule was met. The project required extensive communication, cooperation and planning with other subcontractors, owner operations and safety personnel. Non-destructive testing was performed under our scope of work including: 9 single hole sonic logging tests, 8 thermal integrity profiling tests and 78 low strain impact integrity tests were completed.
