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.

Cast-In-Drilled-Hole Piles
6-4
Drilling buckets (Figure 6-4) are used when augers
are not able to extract material from a drilled hole.
This can happen when wet materials or cohesionless
materials are encountered. Drilling buckets may also
be appropriate when heavy gravel or cobbles are
encountered. Drilling buckets have a cutting edge
which forces material into the bucket during rotation.
When the drilling bucket is full, the bucket is spun in
the direction opposite of drilling to close the built-in
flaps, which prevent the cuttings from falling out of
the bucket. The bucket is then extracted from the
drilled hole and emptied.
Cleanout buckets are specialized drilling buckets that
are used to clean loose materials from the bottom of a
drilled hole and to flatten the bottom of the drilled
hole. This allows the tip of the pile to be founded on a
firm flat surface. These buckets have no cutting teeth
but are similar to drilling buckets in other aspects.
Specialized cleanout buckets can be used to extract
loose materials when groundwater or drilling slurry is
present. These buckets, referred to as “muckout”
buckets, allow fluid to pass through them while
retaining the loose materials from the bottom of the
drilled hole. Figure 6-5 shows the difference between
the cleanout bucket and the drilling bucket.
