PILE FOUNDATIONS
"You can't build a great building on a weak foundation".
Piles are the foundation upon which everything will be built. The accuracy and quality of the foundation will determine the standard for the overall project. If you start the project right, everything else is going to be easier.
Drilled Piles
Many of our marine projects are located where rock or ledge is close to the surface and prevents the use of driven piles. In these situations we will drill into the rock and grout the pile into the drill hole or ‘socket’. We have become adept at installing rock socketed piles and operate our own drilling equipment.
Helical Piles
Very often site conditions require alternative pile designs. Whether it is due to overhead limitations, concern about equipment noise or unstable soil conditions, helical piles are becoming a more common alternative to conventionally driven piles.
Steel Piles
Pipe and H section steel piles are most often used in applications where timber cannot be used due to driving conditions or higher structural design needs. We perform this type of pile work regularly and have the equipment and experience to meet project schedules and design criteria.
Timber Piles
Timber piles are still the most common building foundation piles in use today. We regularly install driven timber piles for residential and commercial structures.
