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.

Driven Piles
7-2
concrete piles were designed for 30 Tons and over. This meant that fewer piles and smaller
footings could be utilized for the same imposed loads. Technological advances in the
cement and concrete industries made concrete piles cost competitive and, because of this,
their use became prevalent.
Pile driving is the operation of forcing a pile into the ground without previous excavation.
Historically, the oldest method of driving a pile, and the method most often used today, is by
a hammer. No doubt, the earliest bearing piles were driven by hand using a wooden mallet
of some sort.
For thousands of years the Chinese and other oriental builders used a stone block as a
hammer. It was lifted by ropes and stretched taut by human beings, who were arranged in a
star pattern about the pile head. The rhythmic pulling and stretching of the ropes flipped
the stone block up and guided the downward blow upon the pile head.
