What we build, and why it matters below grade

Most of our work disappears once the building goes up. This is what’s holding it all together.

Section through a shored excavation and a drilled caisson foundation Left: a steel soldier pile with timber lagging holds back the soil under a neighbouring house while the excavation beside it is dug. Right: a drilled caisson with a rebar cage and anchor bolts carries a telecom tower. Excavation depth Embedment Grade 123456
  1. Steel soldier pileDrilled and set below the excavation base, so the wall gets its strength from the ground beneath the dig.
  2. Timber laggingBoards placed between piles as the excavation goes down, holding the soil face.
  3. The neighbour's propertyThe whole point: their foundation, fence and driveway stay exactly where they are.
  4. Drilled caissonA concrete pier cast in a drilled shaft, sized to the load and the soil.
  5. Rebar cageBuilt on site and lowered into the shaft before the pour.
  6. Anchor boltsSet to template in the top of the caisson to receive a tower or structure base.

How a job runs

We handle every part of the job from permits to haulage, so you deal with one company and one phone number.

  1. Site review

    We look at the drawings, the soil, the neighbours and access, then tell you what the site actually needs.

  2. Design and permits

    Shoring is designed for your excavation and we handle the paperwork that goes with it.

  3. Drilling and install

    Our crew and equipment drill, set piles and caissons, and place lagging as the dig goes down.

  4. Haulage and handover

    Spoil hauled, site left clean, and the hole ready for your foundation crew.
