Services
Soil Stabilization
Our soil stabilization services use advanced techniques like helical piles and grouting to reinforce unstable ground. We address landslides, erosion, and foundation issues for residential and infrastructure projects. Our methods ensure long-term stability and safety in challenging terrains.
Seismic Upgrades
We specialize in seismic upgrades for historic and critical infrastructure. Our solutions include tiedown rock anchors and structural reinforcement to meet federal safety standards. Projects like the Willamette Falls Locks demonstrate our expertise in preserving structural integrity during earthquakes.
Geotechnical Drilling
Our geotechnical drilling services provide precise subsurface data for construction planning. We use cutting-edge equipment for exploratory borings and foundation drilling, ensuring accurate site assessments for commercial and infrastructure projects.
Retaining Walls
We design and build retaining walls using shotcrete, tieback anchors, and modular systems. Our walls prevent soil erosion and support structures in residential and commercial developments. Custom solutions adapt to site-specific geotechnical conditions.
Helical Piles
Helical piles provide deep foundation support for structures in unstable soil. We install these screw-like piles for docks, buildings, and infrastructure projects. This method offers rapid deployment and load-bearing capacity in challenging environments.
