| Pelli Towers, Las Vegas, NV
The City Center is a 76 acre mixed-use complex (16,797,000
square feet (1,560,500 m2), currently under construction
by MGM Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip in the Las Vegas
metropolitan area.
Malcolm Drilling was selected on the basis of cost
and schedule to construct the drilled shaft foundations
on several hotel/condominium towers on the City Center
Project. Although the entire scope of work encompassed
over 2,500 shafts up to 120 feet in depth, the crowning
achievement for this project was the construction of
the Pelli Tower foundation piles in just 32 days – compromised
of 442 shafts, the majority of which were 4 feet in
diameter and averaged 112 feet in length. To accomplish
this feat, Malcolm Drilling utilized four Bauer BG-40
drill rigs, working 12 hours per day.
Other buildings and structures on the project included
the VDARA condominium, the Harmon Flyover Bridge, the
Convention Center, the Podium structure and the Showroom
Theatre.
