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

All structure foundations have in common one fundamental characteristic; that is, they
provide a means whereby service loads are transmitted into the supporting medium.
For new construction, the types of structure foundations that can be used are generally
limited by geologic conditions. For bridge widenings, bridge rehabilitation, and seismic
retrofits, the types of structure foundations that can be used may also be limited by site
accessibility, overhead clearance, superstructure requirements, existing utilities, and noise
restrictions.
Structure foundations can generally be classified in the following categories:
(1) footing foundations (frequently referred to as spread footings), (2) pile-supported
foundations (driven and non-driven piles), and (3) special case foundation types that
would include pier columns, tiebacks, soil nails, and tiedowns.
The primary source of information for structure foundation decisions is the Foundation
Report prepared by the Office of Structural Foundations of the Engineering Service Center.
The Project Designer selects the appropriate foundation type based upon data and recom-
mendations contained in the Foundation Report.
For pile-supported foundations, it is the Project Designer’s responsibility to select the type of
pile consistent with the Foundation Report’s recommendations. Additionally, the selected
pile type should fulfill the requirements for economy, competitive bidding, and availability
for the particular conditions prevailing at the site.
Instead of a specific recommendation as to foundation type, the Engineering Geologist may
provide the Project Designer with engineering data for both footing and pile foundations. In
this case, existing field conditions and/or economics will generally determine the founda-
tion type.
