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.

Section 5-1.01 of the Standard Specifications states that,

“The Engineer shall decide all questions… as to the acceptable fulfillment of the

contract on the part of the contractor.”

Contract Administration may be defined as the sum total of all those actions required by the

Engineer to ensure that the contemplated work is constructed and completed by the

Contractor in accordance with all terms of the contract.

These actions will include, but not be limited to: (1) enforcement and interpretation of the

plans and specifications, (2) ensuring compliance with applicable Caltrans policies,

(3) objective and subjective decisions, 4) sampling, testing and inspection of the work,

(5) problem solving, and (6) proper documentation.

It should be pointed out that a well administered contract does not always produce excellent

results. Although it is the Contractor’s contractual obligation to construct and complete the

project in accordance with the contract documents, the best results are generally obtained

when the Contractor’s attitude is one of cooperation, rather than one which is antagonistic

in nature. On current contracts Caltrans will promote the formation of a “Partnering”

relationship with the Contractor in order to effectively complete the contract to the benefit

of both parties. The purpose of this relationship will be to maintain cooperative communi-

cation and mutually resolve con.icts at the lowest possible level.

In order for the Engineer to decide the question of acceptable fulfillment of the contract on

the part of the Contractor, i.e., successfully administer the contract, the contemplated work

must be thoroughly understood.

A detailed study must be made of the plans and specifications. This would include the Log

of Test Borings, which, although attached to the contract plans, is not considered a part of
