Rembco Geotechnical Contractors specializes in slope stabilization, foundation repair and support, shoring, grouting, soil nails, micropile installations, and sinkholes. We are experienced in these applications: micro piles, sinkhole repair, permeation grouting, pressure grouting, soil nails, chemical grouting, micropiles, compaction grout, rock anchors and compaction piles. Our specialties are rock anchor, chemical and compaction grouting, mini piles, sinkhole repair, micropiles, and soil nailing. We use a problem-solving approach in the geotechnical portions of buildings, bridges, water plants, sewage plants, tunnels, sinkholes, caisson, and roads. Rembco techniques apply when adding new real estate structures: especially rock anchor, microfine grouting, soil nailing, micropile installations for foundation support.
