Hayward Baker opens new office in Charlotte, N.C.

Hayward Baker Inc. designed a temporary excavation support system as deep as 70 feet below grade for construction of multiple levels of below-grade parking for the Bank of America and Ritz-Carlton structures.

Charlotte, N.C. — Hayward Baker Inc. announced the opening of a new office location in Charlotte, N.C. In conjunction with Hayward Baker’s existing Greensboro office, the new Charlotte office supports public, commercial, and industrial clients as well as serving as a resource to the design community addressing challenging geotechnical site conditions.

Recent Charlotte-area projects performed by Hayward Baker illustrate the wide range of design-build services the company provides.  Among these projects are:

• Encore Southpark – an 11-story multifamily residential project with below-grade parking. The site required ground improvement – specifically Vibro Piers – for support of the structure.
• Carolina Panthers Football Stadium upgrades, including new escalators to service the stadium’s upper levels, were made possible via Hayward Baker installing driven timber piles through debris-laden fill materials.
• 615 College Street – The installation of 300 high-capacity micropiles provided additional support to an existing below-grade parking deck for the construction of a 12-story structure above while allowing the parking garage to remain open during construction.
• Bank of America and Ritz-Carlton structures – located at Trade and College Streets, required a temporary excavation support system to depths as much as 70 feet below grade for the construction of multiple levels of below-grade parking.
