Subgrade Solutions is a specialty geotechnical subcontractor specializing in the design and installation of aggregate pier ground improvement. Subgrade Solutions is backed by the experience of $100M in completed contracts, both public and private. Subgrade Solutions engineering staff have combined ground improvement and aggregate pier design experience of over 30 years.

Soil issues concerning bearing capacity, settlement, and contamination pose many factors that can affect your project’s cost and schedule. Whether you’re a general contractor, owner, or developer – we want you to make the decision that is best suited for your budget and schedule.

Aggregate piers, also known as Vibratory Stone Columns, are widely accepted by geotechnical and structural engineers to mitigate settlement and increase structural capacity of undocumented fill, compressible soils, unconsolidated granular soils, and many other soil profiles that have low bearing capacities and are susceptible to long & short term settlements.
