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. Please

Foundation Investigations
1-2
Who Performs Foundation Investigations
Foundation investigations for the various structures designed and constructed by the
Engineering Service Center are normally performed by one of the two Foundation Investi-
gation sections of the Office of Structural Foundations. The southern section in Los Angeles
handles the investigations for projects to be constructed in Districts 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12. The
northern section handles investigations in the remainder of the twelve Districts in the
northern half of the State.
At times, the design of structure projects have oversight provided by the Office of External
Liaison and Support through either the Consultant Contracts Management Branch, the
Externally Financed Projects Branch, or the Local Assistance and Program Section. Foun-
dation investigations for these projects are produced by consultant geotechnical companies.
In these types of projects, the Log of Test Borings and Foundation Report for structures are
reviewed by the Geotechnical Design Oversight Section of the Office of Structural Founda-
tions.
Office of Structural Foundations Geotechnical Support
Personnel from the Office of Structural Foundations are available to provide support to
Office of Structure Construction employees throughout the life of a construction project.
Structure Representatives are encouraged in Bridge Construction Memo 2-2.0 to schedule
pre-construction meetings with personnel from the appropriate Foundation Investigation
Section (Northern or Southern). The primary purpose of the pre-construction meeting
would be to forge a good relationship with the Engineering Geologist that performed the
foundation investigation, and to discuss the Foundation Report, Log of Test Borings, and
any potential foundation problem areas in detail. This meeting may be invaluable to
Structure Representatives in their efforts to recognize and discuss any potential foundation
problems that may need extra attention during the foundation work on the project.
Once construction projects are under way, personnel from the Foundation Investigation
Section lend their expertise when problems occur during foundation work. Engineering
Geologists advise Structure Representatives over the phone and often visit projects to
evaluate problems and recommend solutions. Structure Representatives are encouraged to
inform the Foundation Investigation Section of any problems with structure foundations as
