Our techniques apply when adding new structures: especially rock anchor, microfine cement, soil nailing, micropile installations for foundation support. We specialize in slope stabilization, anchors, permeation grouting, foundation repair and support, grouting, soil nails, rock drilling, micropile installations, and sinkholes. We use a problem-solving approach geotechnical architecture of buildings, bridges, water plants, sewage plants, tunnels, sinkholes, caisson, shoring, underpinning, agriculture, and roads construction. We are experienced in these applications: micro piles, sinkhole repair, permeation grouting, pressure grout, soil nails, chemical grouting, micropiles, compaction grout, and rock anchors. Our specialties are rock anchor, acrylamide and compaction grouting, mini piles, sinkhole repair, micropiles, acrylamide grouting, and soil nailing. We will continue to dedicate ourselves to excellence, including insurance mortgage, in our performance, in our integrity, and in our relationships with our customers. We will carefully weigh our decisions, actions, and results to make sure that we remain the most trusted name in the geotechnical contracting industry.

Preface
The Foundation Manual is intended to provide the field engineer with information that may be of some
assistance in solving foundation problems and in making engineering decisions.
Although the field engineer is required to make engineering decisions throughout the life of a construction
project, none is probably more important than the engineer’s decision regarding the suitability or unsuitability
of the foundation material supporting a spread footing foundation. The engineer must decide if the founda-
tion material encountered at the planned bottom of footing elevation is, in fact, representative of the material
shown on the Log of Test Borings sheet and therefore suitable for the imposed loads. If not representative, the
engineer must decide what action to take.
This is not to minimize the importance of pile supported foundations, which have their own unique problems
that require decisions based on sound engineering judgement. What action does the engineer take when pile
bearing capacity is not obtained at specified tip or reaches “refusal” ten feet above tip elevation.
All types of foundations are discussed in the manual along with related problems and possible solutions. There
is no one solution that will always solve a particular problem. Each situation must be reviewed and a decision
made based on the available data and one’s own experience.
There is no substitute for utilizing sound engineering judgement in solving engineering problems. If all
problems are solved in this manner, then the engineer can be confident that a good solution was used to solve
the problem.
