In this environmentally sensitive locale,
building the new Sentinel Bridge presented
engineers with geological challenges as well.
These were addressed for the National Park
Service by the Federal Highway Administration
which oversaw design and construction.
Various diameter pipe, timber piles and
14-inch Monotube piles were test-driven to
determine their load-carrying capabilities.
The result: the wedging action of our uniformly
tapered Monotube proved to be the most
effective and economical foundation solution.
As this unique Yosemite Valley project
demonstrates, Monotube piles continue to
deliver high performance in a solidly economic
fashion nationwide. Take a clear look at these
advantages by sending for our free engineering
