 was able to overcome this problem with  
 a nontraditional construction method of  
 mass excavation first, and then utilizing  
 the excavated material for the berm, which  
 kept the water out of the excavation and  
 allowed APC to move the project forward  
 by beginning concrete pile installation in a  
 timely manner. 
 Cost savings 
 APC implemented a cost saving measure  
 by using a rolling pipe template that would  
 span the entire deadman length, allowing  
 APC to install all the piles for a deadman  
 with one template set. This saved a considerable  
 amount of time with pile layout  
 while minimizing the cycle time on pile  
 installation. This resulted in significant cost  
 saving measures for the client.
