Engineering for Foundations

Your impossible problem isn’t new. What if you had a team who has already solved it many times?

Shallow & Deep Foundation Design

Selecting the appropriate foundation type depends on the type of structure, the location, the subsurface conditions, risk management, economics, and the expected project lifetime. While there are countless ways to support structures, our team has engineered every option available and has the experience and insight to design what’s best for your situation.

Matching Your Approach

Driven Piles

Our understanding of soil conditions, loading information, installation criteria, environmental conditions, and other considerations allow us to offer innovative and progressive pile designs, which result in highly competitive and practical solutions.

Screw Piles

The correct size and configuration of screw piles depend on a number of factors, including specific site and ground conditions. As a result, each pile we propose calls upon a wealth of knowledge and experience to custom design the piles for each client’s unique combination of performance requirements and subsurface conditions.

Micropiles

Micropile design requires consideration of geotechnical conditions and design, structural design, grouting techniques, drilling methods, and quality/verification methods. Drawing on our industry knowledge, we can design a micropile solution for your environment.

Concrete Piles

When designing concrete pile solutions, we consider the magnitude of the imposed loads, subsoil conditions, the allowable settlement, and construction cost. Our engineers are experts in pile design optimization to minimize the effort (cost and time) while maximizing the benefit (bearing capacity and durability).

Shallow Foundations (Footings)

From spread or isolated footings to strip foundations to combined foundations, our engineers systematically evaluate the most economical design that safely conforms to prescribed structural criteria and properly accounts for the intended function of the structure.

Raft/Mat Foundations

With decades of shallow foundation design experience, we take into account the integration of other constructions, insulation, damp proofing, and complex ground conditions for raft foundations. For mat foundations, our method of analysis is guided by experience and judgment to develop a suitable foundation solution that understands the soil-structure interaction.

Your Foundation problem

it’s been Solved before

After 45 years in the industry, we’ve seen overly complicated solutions, requirements of every imaginable type, and “impossible” problems which no one else could solve. We understand the stress of working with tight timelines, fixed budgets, unforeseen challenges, and a reputation to uphold.

Our solutions are built on over 200 years of combined civil and structural experience, having worked on more than 18,000 projects in energy, mining, forestry, and renewables. Our team has extensive experience in the design of foundations for all types of superstructures, machinery, industrial equipment (pipes, towers, tanks), sign bases, and more. We approach every project with practicality, constructability, and past experience top of mind.

You deserve a team that’s already solved the impossible problems.
