Services

Shoring, earth retention, and specialty foundations.

Deep basements, neighboring foundations, and steep sites demand careful support. We design shoring and specialty foundations around the constraints of each site.

Shoring and support of excavation

Temporary excavation support and permanent earth retention beside buildings, streets, utilities, and property lines.

Shoring and Support of Excavation DesignTemporary excavation support and permanent earth retention designed around neighboring structures, site access, and construction stages.Temporary Shoring DesignTemporary support for basement and foundation excavations, including the stages before the permanent structure can carry the load.Soldier Pile ShoringSoldier piles, lagging, and bracing designed together for excavations with changing depths, tight boundaries, and limited working room.Tieback ShoringAnchored shoring that leaves working space inside an excavation, with layouts that account for property rights, utilities, and nearby foundations.Soil Nail WallsSoil nail walls for staged excavation and retaining work, with nail layouts and facing designed for the ground conditions and available space.

Foundations and site stabilization

Structural support where ground conditions, existing foundations, or access constrain the work.

MicropilesMicropile foundations for sites where access, existing construction, or structural loads limit other foundation options.UnderpinningEngineered support for existing foundations affected by nearby excavation, foundation upgrades, or changes in how building loads are carried.Slope StabilizationStructural support for hillside sites, based on the slope geometry, geotechnical findings, property boundaries, and room for construction.Retaining WallsPermanent retaining walls designed for the finished grades, nearby structures, and excavation needed to build them.

Structural review

An independent review of structural design when a project calls for another engineering perspective.

Structural Peer ReviewA focused review of structural designs, calculations, details, or proposed changes, with the questions and extent of review agreed at the start.
