Background

Nicholson installed 450 stone columns for new construction at the Supreme Court complex in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The columns measure 3 feet in diameter and reach a depth of 35 feet.

The stone column installation required pre-drilling due to the presence of a compact layer in the first 10 feet. This unexpected feature did not impede the stone column installation process.
