In February 2021 Hub completed a large-scale ground improvement project at Lowell High School. The work consisted of aggregate piers installed through the varying fill layer and about two feet into the very dense glacial till. Despite winter conditions and underground obstacles, Hub installed the ground improvement, totaling more than 700 piers, in a timely fashion and to the satisfaction of both the owner and the general contractor. Predrilling was required to get through the urban fill and was completed using a drill rig configured with a Continuous Flight Auger or CFA.
