Description: The project consists of 34 drilled shafts from 48 inches to 132 inches in diameter and 45 feet deep for high power transmission line connecting the new AES power plant to the existing Puerto Rican grid. The work was carried out through a variety of soil conditions, from very soft soil to very hard rock. Work areas were from sea level up to several miles in to the mountains.
