Our
Process
Concept
Our team will work with yours to determine the best solution for your project. Bring us your soils investigation & construction plans and we will evaluate for cost, schedule and design. Aggregate Piers may be a viable option saving you time and money even if not recommended in the geotechnical report.
Engineered Design
Aggregate pier design is dictated by the foundation plan, loading, and site soil profile. A geotechnical report, foundation plan, and civil drawings (or relative rough subgrade elevations) is enough information to put together a preliminary design and deliver a proposal. We can even work from a napkin sketch for budgets.
Execution
Aggregate Piers will be installed according to a signed and stamped engineered design tailored to your structure and soil conditions. Design will be validated through modulus testing, the requirements of which are dictated on a per project basis. Additionally, our rigs are equipped with tracking systems that monitor the depth, pressure, and duration of each pier installed. All of this is added assurance that the Aggregate Piers perform per the design requirements.
