The 55-mile, 345 kV New York Energy Solution project replaced aging 1930s lattice structures with high-load, double-circuit monopoles. MAGNUM® Helical Piles and MUG grillages created an all-steel foundation solution for the demanding transmission loads. The system eliminated concrete from the critical construction path while accommodating tight pile installation tolerances.
A 300-ton load test and independent third-party review validated the foundation system. The completed transmission project was energized in August 2023, approximately six months ahead of schedule. This project demonstrates how high-capacity helical pile foundations can support accelerated transmission infrastructure upgrades.
