Engineered Aggregate Piers
Our Engineered Aggregate Piers (EAP) provide ground improvement solutions for settlement-sensitive structures in variable soil conditions. Utilizing patented ramming technology and real-time monitoring, these piers enhance soil stability and load-bearing capacity. Our licensed engineers design customized systems that integrate seamlessly with construction projects while maintaining cost efficiency.
Dynamic Subgrade Improvement
The GeoBase Dynamic Subgrade Improvement method enhances soil stability through controlled compaction techniques. This approach reduces settlement risks and increases load capacity for infrastructure projects. Our team implements precise quality control measures to ensure consistent results across commercial, industrial, and transportation facilities.
Design/Build Services
We offer comprehensive design/build packages from project inception to completion. Our licensed geotechnical engineers provide stamped submittals, on-site quality control, and detailed documentation. This integrated approach ensures technical accuracy while optimizing project timelines and budget parameters for both public and private sector clients.
Green Building Solutions
Our environmentally conscious construction methods minimize resource consumption and carbon footprint. We incorporate recycled materials and on-site soil reuse where feasible. Our LEED-credited professionals assist clients in achieving sustainability certifications through eco-friendly foundation technologies and energy-efficient design practices.
Emergency Mobilization
We deploy experienced crews with specialized equipment on short notice to address urgent foundation challenges. Our adaptable systems accommodate existing contractor resources and equipment. This capability ensures timely resolution of critical ground improvement needs while maintaining technical and safety standards.
