Nantucket Foundation Repair Project

Nantucket, MA, with its rich whaling history and cobblestone streets, is a picturesque island that draws thousands of visitors each year. Known for its historic properties, this unique destination also faces the challenge of maintaining its aging infrastructure. One such challenge recently tackled was the repair of a residential foundation, a project executed with precision and care by Toscana Corporation, a trusted construction firm specializing in earth-work services for over 42 years.

As part of this important project, Toscana Corporation utilized the ICE® Model 16VM Variable Moment Hammer, a powerful piece of equipment designed and manufactured by International Construction Equipment, Inc. (ICE®). This hammer played a key role in driving HP14x89' steel H-piles 20 feet into the ground to support the new foundation. Behind the scenes, the performance and reliability of the ICE® equipment were enhanced by Hydrauli-Flex hoses.

Hydrauli-Flex hoses, manufactured by The Hose Company, are engineered to withstand the toughest conditions, and their performance on the ICE® Model 16VM Hammer was integral to the project's success. As the hammer’s amplitude was precisely tuned to match both the pile and soil types, the Hydrauli-Flex hoses delivered consistent, high-pressure hydraulic power. Designed to excel in harsh environments, these hoses are the ideal solution for high-stakes tasks such as foundation repairs on Nantucket’s historic properties.

Foundation repair, especially in an area where preservation is essential, requires unparalleled precision. The Hydrauli-Flex hoses ensured the necessary hydraulic power to drive the piles deep into the ground, securing a solid foundation while preserving the integrity of neighboring homes. This is crucial for Nantucket’s historic buildings, which must remain safe and stable without compromising their character or the safety of residents and tourists.

At The Hose Company, we take great pride in manufacturing Hydrauli-Flex hoses that play a critical role in high-performance projects like this one. Our commitment to quality and durability ensures that ICE® equipment, in conjunction with our hoses, can perform reliably in even the most challenging environments. Toscana Corporation's successful completion of the foundation repair on Nantucket is a testament to the power of collaboration and the effectiveness of top-tier equipment, including Hydrauli-Flex hoses.

As Toscana Corporation continues to deliver exceptional results, we look forward to the ongoing success of projects that preserve the history and safety of communities across the country. We are honored to be part of this important foundation repair project on Nantucket. Well done, Toscana Corporation!
