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.

CALTRANS FOUNDATION MANUAL

Static Pile Load
Testing and Dynamic
Pile Monitoring
Introduction
Chapter 1 of this manual explained how a foundation investigation for all new structures,
widenings, strengthenings or seismic retrofits is performed by the Office of Structural
Foundations. Under normal circumstances, the Engineering Geologist assigned to perform
the investigation is able to gather enough information to allow them to recommend a pile
type and tip elevation that they firmly believe is capable of supporting the required loads on
the recommended pile foundation.
On the other hand, there are many situations when the Engineering Geologist is not able to
gather the necessary subsurface information that allows them to comfortably recommend a
pile foundation that they have complete confidence in. Whenever this occurs, the Engineer-
ing Geologist may recommend a Static Pile Load Test or Dynamic Pile Monitoring opera-
tion to ensure that the piles are going to perform in the manner predicted in the design of
the foundation.
Personnel from the Foundation Testing and Instrumentation Section of the Office of
Structural Foundations perform Static Load Testing and Dynamic Pile Monitoring on
Caltrans projects. Once the testing is completed, written reports summarizing the findings
are transmitted to the Structure Representative.
