Services
Helical Piers
Helical piers stabilize and repair settling foundations using steel shafts with helical plates. This method transfers structural loads to deeper, stable soil layers. Ideal for residential and commercial buildings with differential settlement issues.
Deep Foundations
Deep foundation systems provide structural support through end-bearing or friction resistance. We install micropiles and caissons for projects requiring load transfer to competent subsurface strata in challenging soil conditions.
Earth Excavation
Earth excavation support systems prevent trench collapses during underground construction. We implement hydraulic shoring, sheet piling, and soil nailing techniques to ensure safe excavation for foundations and utility installations.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls control soil erosion and create level building platforms. Our reinforced concrete and segmental block systems resist lateral earth pressure while providing structural integrity for slopes and embankments.
Stream Restoration
Stream restoration projects stabilize eroded channels and improve aquatic habitats. We use rock weirs, bank stabilization, and native vegetation to re-establish natural flow patterns and prevent further degradation.
