Services
Micropiles
Micropiles are high-capacity drilled and grouted piles designed for seismic reinforcement and challenging ground conditions. They transfer loads to stable strata using high-strength grout and steel components. Ideal for retrofitting deteriorating foundations or projects requiring minimal vibration, micropiles support compressive, tensile, and lateral loads while adhering to strict building codes.
Soil Nails
Soil nailing stabilizes soil masses using steel tendons grouted into pre-drilled holes. This method reinforces temporary excavations, permanent retaining walls, and landslide-prone areas. It minimizes equipment requirements, making it ideal for congested sites while ensuring structural integrity and slope stability.
Grout Injection
Grout injection fills voids and strengthens subsurface structures by pumping high-strength grout through hollow bars or casings. This technique prevents settlement, stabilizes foundations, and seals cracks in challenging soils. Its commonly used for probe and grout operations to enhance structural longevity.
Tie-back Anchors
Tie-back anchors provide lateral reinforcement for retaining walls and slopes by installing tensioned steel tendons grouted into drilled holes. They stabilize existing or new structures, transferring tensile loads to competent ground. This method ensures long-term stability for infrastructure projects.
Rockfall Mitigation
Rockfall mitigation involves installing systems to control unstable slopes and prevent debris movement. Techniques include anchored retaining walls, netting, and drainage solutions. These systems protect infrastructure and public safety while minimizing environmental impact in Hawaii's rugged terrain.
