Building Omaha's Tallest Tower
A new era of urban transformation is rising in Omaha, Nebraska, with the construction of the Mutual of Omaha Tower, which began in 2023—a 44-story architectural marvel set to become the city’s tallest building. Slated for completion in 2026, this $600-million skyscraper will stand at an impressive 677 feet, offering 800,000 square feet of office space, luxury apartments, and premium amenities such as a fitness center and a rooftop terrace. This ambitious project is projected to bring 30,000 new jobs and residents to downtown Omaha, marking it as a keystone of economic growth and urban revitalization.
Laying the Foundation with Precision
Foundational to the success of this monumental structure is the work of Hayes Drilling, Inc., tasked with constructing its sturdy base. Their job involves driving massive pipe piles up to 81 feet long, with diameters ranging from 36 to 96 inches. To ensure efficiency and precision, Hayes Drilling is utilizing top-tier equipment: the ICE® 130 Vibratory Driver/Extractor and the ICE® 66C Vibratory Driver/Extractor. These tools, renowned for their adaptability and power, allow for seamless installation of large and small caissons without the downtime associated with clamp adjustments.
