Commercial Applications
We meet geotechnical challenges with structural engineering credentials and a fast-track distribution system. Work with one partner who can add value to your project by offering an engineered opinion, stamped plans, and installation expertise.
Foundation Repair - Helical Piles
Helical piles are practical, efficient and proven solution for settling foundations. They are ideal for a complete range of challenging soil conditions including sand, clay and organic soil. Helical piles are advanced into the soil until the capacity of the helical pile exceeds the weight of the building. Once the helical piles are installed, foundation brackets are attached to the footing of the building in order to transfer the weight of the building to the helical piles deep in the soil.
Foundation Repair- Resistance piers
Resistance piers are especially cost effective in soil conditions where dense or rocky soil conditions are present. Resistance piers utilize the skin friction of the soil in order to repair settling or broken foundations. Foundation brackets are attached to the footing of the building. The resistance piers are installed by attaching hydraulic drive equipment to the bracket in order to push the pier sections into the soil. As the piers are advanced into the soil and the hydraulic pressure is monitored until the skin friction developed exceeds the required capacity.
Tension/Tieback - Helical Piles
Helical piles are ideal for tension applications. Common construction applications include: Sheet pile tiebacks from deep excavations, Retaining wall tiebacks, Guy wire tension anchors, Uplift resistance anchors for temporary or light structures, and Bowing wall repair / straightening. The helical tiebacks are installed at a predetermined angle to be installed beyond the slip (failure) zone of the soil. The hydraulic pressure is monitored during the installation process and the helical tiebacks are installed until the capacity of the tiebacks exceeds the required tension loads.
Boardwalks & Walkways
Helical piles are an ideal solution to support a walkway over sensitive waterfront areas. Helical piles reach deep into the ground to load-bearing strata with minimal disruption to the surrounding environment.
