General Contractors overseeing residential or commercial projects are faced with many challenges. The most important - maintaining a safe project site and keeping your project running on time and within budget. Whether you are a Structural Engineer that designs buildings, tanks and grain bins, or bridges, the loads and pressures your foundation systems support may require ground improvement. The Geotechnical Engineer plays a crucial role in all new construction projects. They are the project team's soils expert, responsible for determining the subsurface conditions at the project site and characterizing the engineering properties of the bearing soils.
Geopier Foundation Company, a subsidiary of Tensar Corporation, developed the first Rammed Aggregate Pier (RAP) system in 1989. Now, Geopier is the industry leader in providing efficient, cost-effective Intermediate Foundation solutions for the support of structures. Geopier® solutions provide an efficient and cost-effective Intermediate Foundation® solution for the support of settlement sensitive structures. Through continual research and development, we've expanded our system capabilities to meet virtually all of your ground improvement challenges.
Value Engineering is a critical process. Using Geopier's Intermediate Foundation solutions, we will reduce costs, expedite your construction schedule, and improve the quality of your project site. For the past 30 years, owners and general contractors have worked with Geopier design engineers to perform Value Engineering on their projects, by developing Geopier Intermediate Foundation® solutions when deep foundation options prove too costly. Our systems have become effective replacements for massive over-excavation and replacement or deep foundations, including driven piles, drilled shafts or augered cast-in-place piles.
