Solid footing – Construction firms develop unique solutions to deal with poor soils

Posted by Miron Construction

When ThedaCare decided to build a new health campus in Oshkosh at the corner of Sixth and Oregon streets, Rob Chartier of Miron Construction Co., Inc. expected a few challenges.

He did not know how many.

“The challenges just kept coming, but we took them one by one. We found solutions and kept going,” says Chartier, Miron’s vice president of health care.

Challenges — whether it is poor soil, a high water table or a tight building site — are common on building projects, forcing construction firms to develop creative solutions.
