Location: Virginia Beach, VA
Owner: Hyatt Hotels through Armada Hoffler Construction
Construction Company: Fay Southeast
Project Status: Completed in April 2015

Fay Southeast was the piling subcontractor for two new properties, Hyatt House and Hyatt Place, in Virginia Beach, VA. In order to do so, we installed 400 precast concrete piles for the foundations of the two facilities. This project was complicated because we had to adhere to a noise ordinance, which made construction difficult.

“…job well done. Driving piles under such conditions was difficult, to say the least. Despite noise complaints, close neighbors, long hours and many design changes, [Fay Southeast] was able to adapt to each situation and meet the hard deadline imposed by Virginia Beach.”  -James McRoberts, Senior Project Manager
