Services
Deep Foundation Construction
Our deep foundation construction services provide critical support for large-scale infrastructure projects. Using advanced drilling techniques and patented displacement pile systems, we create stable foundations for high-rise buildings, energy facilities, and marine structures. Our solutions address challenging soil conditions and high-load requirements while minimizing environmental impact through vibration-free installation methods.
CFA Pile Installation
Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) pile installation delivers reliable deep foundation solutions for commercial and industrial projects. Our specialized drill rigs create high-capacity piles in various soil conditions while maintaining strict quality control through real-time monitoring systems. This method proves particularly effective in urban environments where noise and vibration restrictions apply.
Marine Structure Foundations
We specialize in marine foundation systems for ports, shipyards, and waterfront facilities. Our expertise includes cofferdam construction, underwater pile driving, and corrosion-resistant foundation solutions. Using specialized barge-mounted equipment, we install durable foundations that withstand harsh marine environments while meeting strict maritime engineering standards.
Rigid Inclusion Systems
Our rigid inclusion systems stabilize weak soil profiles for large-scale developments. Using high-capacity drill rigs, we install deep soil mixing columns and displacement piles that improve load-bearing capacity. This technique proves essential for projects requiring settlement control in variable-density fill materials or soft ground conditions.
Shoring Systems
We design and install temporary and permanent shoring systems for deep excavations. Our solutions include steel soldier pile walls, soil nail systems, and internally braced cofferdams. These systems ensure safe working conditions during foundation construction while protecting adjacent structures and infrastructure from ground movement.
