Services
Earth Retention Shoring
We specialize in temporary and permanent shoring systems like soldier beams, tiebacks, soil nails, and secant walls. These solutions stabilize excavations and prevent soil movement for construction safety. Our methods combine advanced techniques with cost-effective materials to ensure project efficiency.
Foundation Systems
Our foundation services include drilled shafts, micropiles, and helix anchors tailored to soil conditions and structural needs. These systems provide durable support for new or existing structures. We evaluate project requirements to recommend the most efficient foundation type.
Ground Improvement
Deep soil mixing enhances soil bearing capacity and reduces settlement or liquefaction risks. We mix in-place soils with cementitious materials to improve strength and create water barriers. This method is ideal for environmentally sensitive sites requiring contamination containment.
Dewatering Wells
We install deep well points for active or passive dewatering systems to manage groundwater during construction. These systems work with specialized contractors to ensure site stability in high-water-table environments. Custom solutions protect adjacent structures during excavation.
Design-Build Services
Our team collaborates on pre-construction planning, structural designs, and value engineering for cost-effective solutions. We coordinate with engineers and contractors to deliver seamless design-build projects. Services include earth retention, landslide mitigation, and foundation support for complex sites.
