Foundation Expertise
Every foundation system carries a distinct set of construction, equipment, access, quality, and productivity implications. Our advisory work covers the full spectrum used on complex industrial, marine, energy, and infrastructure projects.
Steel pipe piles, H-piles, and precast concrete piles installed by impact and vibratory hammers for industrial, marine, and transmission structures where high capacity and rapid installation are required. Includes end-bearing, friction, and combined-behaviour designs.
We cover
Continuous flight auger and displacement auger piles suited to cohesive and mixed ground conditions, transmission foundations, and building substructures. Low-vibration installation for noise-sensitive and settlement-sensitive sites.
We cover
Large-diameter drilled shafts (cased, uncased, slurry-supported, and polymer-supported) for heavy structures, bridges, wind, and transmission where deep bearing or high lateral resistance is required. Includes belled bases and telescoping casings.
We cover
Rock-socketed shafts and piles taken into competent bedrock for high axial and lateral loads — sizing socket length and diameter, verifying rock quality against design assumptions, selecting cleaning and inspection methods, and coordinating verification of side-shear and end-bearing capacity.
We cover
Reverse-circulation drilling, cluster drills, and downhole (down-the-hole) hammer systems for socketing large-diameter piles and casings into hard ground and bedrock from barges, jack-ups, and trestles. Includes air/water management, cuttings handling, and casing-advancement strategies in tidal and offshore conditions.
We cover
Piling from barges, jack-ups, and temporary trestles in tidal, coastal, and river environments — driven, drilled, and combined installation methods under environmental, navigational, and regulatory constraints.
We cover
Temporary and permanent sheet-pile walls, combi-walls, and cofferdams with tie-backs, walers, and internal bracing for bridge substructures, river crossings, marine works, and deep excavation support.
We cover
Permanent and temporary strand and bar anchors, soil nails, and rock anchors for retaining walls, cofferdams, marine bulkheads, tower guys, and uplift-resistance foundations. Covers drilling method, grouting sequence, stressing, lock-off, proof and performance testing, and long-term corrosion protection.
We cover
Helical (screw) piles and cased or bonded micropiles for restricted-access sites, retrofit and underpinning work, transmission structures, bridge substructures, and high-capacity tension applications.
We cover
Pole and monopole foundations for transmission, distribution, and communications structures — embedment design assumptions, backfill methodology, and productivity across linear right-of-way programs.
We cover
Cast-in-place concrete foundations, mat foundations, tank pads, and pile caps interfacing with piling, anchors, and structural steel, including high-strength and mass-concrete considerations.
We cover
Platform design coordination, haul-road planning, matting strategies, and crane-pad requirements for heavy piling, drilling, and lifting equipment on soft or variable ground.
We cover
Static, dynamic (PDA), bi-directional (Osterberg-cell), Statnamic, thermal integrity, cross-hole sonic logging, and low-strain integrity testing — planning, sequencing, and integration into the construction schedule. Includes anchor proof and performance testing.
We cover
Assessment of alternative methodologies where refusal, obstructions, karstic ground, or scope-gap issues impact schedule and cost — including method changes, splice and extension strategies, and re-verification programs.
