UMA worked two shifts to install more than 300 micropiles to support a fabrication facility addition for a global manufacturer in Goose Creek, S.C.
Specialty subcontractors like UMA Geotechnical Construction Inc. (UMA) rarely get the credit, but the work they do often lays the foundation for stimulating the global supply chain. The North Carolina-based contractor worked two shifts to install more than 300 micropiles to support a fabrication facility addition for a manufacturer in Goose Creek, S.C.
Unique Bidding Process
UMA s Team overcame the odds by procuring the project through a high-pressure process called the Japanese Reverse Auction. While common overseas, this was new territory for a geotechnical contractor serving the Mid-Atlantic United States.
