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.

Type Selection
2-2
While it is true that the foundation type is determined primarily by the geological nature of
the foundation material itself, non-geological features are considered in the selection and
design of structure foundations.
All available site data is reviewed by the Engineering Geologist and the Project Designer to
determine if there are existing conditions or proposed changes that would restrict or
exclude certain foundation types.
Seal courses are frequently specified as a foundation aid when water problems are antici-
pated. Seal course concrete is placed under water, the general purpose being to seal the
bottom of a tight cofferdam against hydrostatic pressure. This enables dewatering of the
cofferdam and construction of the footing “in the dry.”
Various geologic and non-geologic features affecting type selection are discussed in the
following table. Most of these items will be discussed in more detail elsewhere in this
manual.
