Complete Basement Systems was recently honored with the Associated General Contractors ACE silver award for “Meeting the Challenge of a Difficult Job.” The foundation repair company located in Denver, CO was recognized for their work installing helical piles on the Alta Vista Charter School in southeast Colorado.

The award was presented to Complete Basement Systems on November 4^th at the 2011 Associated General Contractors ACE awards banquet. The banquet was attended by more than 550 contractors and industry leaders who gathered to recognize and celebrate the outstanding commercial construction projects completed within the last year. The AGC of Colorado presented a total of thirty-one awards at the ceremony, including 14 ACE awards. The 36 entries in 14 categories, submitted by 27 AGC member companies, demonstrate the outstanding creativity, skill and excellence of Colorado’s builders, architects, engineers, and subcontractors.

The Alta Vista Charter School was constructed in 1917. In 2011, the school planned a “historic” renovation to 6,240 square feet of the existing building as well as construction of a new addition of 18,000 square feet (view case study). Helical piles were selected as the ideal deep foundation stabilization option for this site given the subsurface conditions, groundwater levels, ease of installation and ability to efficiently size the piles for the various design working loads that were needed. The team at Complete Basement Systems completed the job by installing 136 piles in approximately two weeks.
