Case Study: Tesla achieves seismic-ready Gigapress foundation installation with VOLO Events Agency

Tesla launches Fremont Gigapress foundation in 2 days with VOLO Events Agency

Tesla required a foundation structure to house its new Giga Press machines at its Fremont facility, a challenge compounded by the area's seismic activity and soil liquefaction risks. The company enlisted VOLO Events Agency and its Structures Division to design and install a heavy-duty solution that could meet these rigorous engineering demands.

VOLO Events Agency implemented a foundation using 42-foot-long helical piles, completing the entire project in just two days despite COVID-19 restrictions. This rapid deployment, a fraction of the time of a traditional build, allowed Tesla's Giga Press building project to stay on schedule, ultimately helping to increase production capacity and improve vehicle build quality.
