Chemical Grouting
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

TYPE SELECTION
USE
Footing Foundations …are virtually unlimited in use. Geologic considerations include the soil profile, the
location of the water table and any potential fluctuation, and the potential for scour or
undermining. Non-geologic considerations include the size and shape of the footing,
adjacent structures, and existing utilities.
Driven Piles
…are used where foundation material will not support a footing foundation or
discourages the use of a Cast-In-Drilled Hole (CIDH) concrete pile. Pile types are precast
concrete, steel structural sections, steel pipe, and timber. Geologic considerations
include the soil profile, driving difficulties, and corrosive soil problems. Non-geologic
considerations include adjacent structures, existing utilities, required pile length,
restricted overhead clearances, accessibility, and noise restrictions.
Non-Driven Piles …consist of CIDH concrete piles and alternative footing design piles. CIDH piles are used
extensively where piles are required and foundation conditions permit their use. The
slurry displacement method of construction of CIDH piles is used where driven piles are
impractical and ground conditions necessitate its use. Alternative footing design piles are
used on an experimental basis when conditions warrant their use. Geologic
considerations include the location of the water table and potential fluctuation, and
the soil profile. Non-geologic considerations include adjacent structures, existing
utilities, restricted overhead clearances, and accessibility.
Special Case Foundations …represent special applications and, therefore, have limited use.
Pier Columns …are generally used for hillside structures, thus eliminating the extensive excavation
that would be required for large spread footings. The location and type of existing
structures may restrict excavation limits.
Tiebacks and Soil Piles …are used for earth retaining structures where it is not feasible to excavate and construct
a footing foundation or pile cap for a conventional retaining wall. Geologic
considerations include the soil profile and corrosive soil problems. Non-geologic
considerations include adjacent structures, accessibility, and existing utilities.
Tiedowns or Tension Piles …are used, in general, for seismic retrofitting of existing footings where overturning
must be prevented.
Generally, footing foundations are more economical than pile supported foundations.
CIDH concrete piles are the most economical pile-supported foundation with steel piles
generally being the most expensive.
