Rebuilding the Red Wing Recycling and RDF Facility

After a fire destroyed enough of an existing facility in Red Wing, MN to require razing the structure down to building’s floor slab, it was decided to rebuild on the existing site. Before rebuilding, three challenging questions needed to be addressed: What is the condition of the timber piling installed in 1982 to support the original building? Can the existing timber piling handle revised design requirements based on current codes? How to support proposed expansions to the existing facility? This presentation will address these questions.
