MCL ConstructionKey Project Attributes Erecting the four individual 100’ tall piers provided its own engineering challenges. The design team split the piers into six - 13’-0” tall sections, supported on a 20’ tall concrete base. However, fabricating that size of pier was still too large due to the exposed finish required on all sides of the pier. Enterprise Precast determined that by fabricating each 13’ section into two halves, the pieces could be fabricated and shipped to the site on standard trailers. Project/Precast Scope
