Services
Geotechnical Construction
We provide deep foundation systems, earth shoring, and ground improvement solutions for complex soil conditions. Our expertise includes micropiles, secant pile walls, and drilling/grouting operations. These services ensure structural stability for infrastructure projects in challenging environments while maintaining safety and precision standards.
Pipeline Rehabilitation
Our trenchless pipeline solutions restore sewer, water, and petroleum systems with minimal disruption. We utilize slip lining, spray-applied pipelining, and flexible fabric reinforced pipe methods. These techniques extend pipeline lifespans while reducing environmental impact and surface disturbance during rehabilitation projects.
Dam/Hydro Construction
We specialize in dam rehabilitation and hydroelectric facility construction. Our services include foundation grouting, gate installation, and spillway modifications. We deliver water management solutions that enhance structural integrity while improving energy efficiency and operational performance for aging hydro infrastructure.
Underground Construction
Our underground expertise covers tunnel boring, shaft construction, and microtunneling operations. We employ tunnel boring machines and slurry microtunneling techniques for transportation and utility projects. These methods enable precise installation of subterranean infrastructure while minimizing surface disruption in urban environments.
Custom Design Build
We offer full-service design-build solutions with in-house engineering and construction teams. Our process combines concept development, engineering, and construction execution under one entity. This approach streamlines project timelines while maintaining quality control and cost efficiency through all construction phases.
