Deep foundations
Helical pile and timber pile layouts, pile caps, grade beams, load transfer, and waterfront or poor-soil applications.
Specialized structures
Foundations & Building Shoring
We engineer permanent and temporary systems that transfer loads safely, protect adjacent construction, and give contractors a clear path through complex site and sequencing conditions.
Discuss your projectWhat we do
Support where the project needs it most.
Foundation design begins with the building loads, subsurface information, groundwater conditions, site constraints, and construction method. We coordinate with geotechnical, civil, architectural, and construction teams to select and detail a system that performs reliably and can be installed efficiently.
For renovation, demolition, and excavation work, temporary stability is as important as the finished structure. We design shoring, underpinning, bracing, and load-transfer sequences that maintain support while permanent work is installed.

Capabilities
Focused support.
Complete perspective.
Scope is tailored to the project, from a focused evaluation to full design and construction-phase services.
Conventional foundations
Spread and strip footings, slabs, mats, retaining walls, and reinforced concrete foundation systems.
Building shoring
Temporary posts, beams, needle beams, bracing, reshoring, and sequencing for altered load-bearing construction.
Excavation + demolition
Underpinning, support of excavation coordination, partial demolition, façade retention, and temporary stabilization.
Our process
From question to
buildable direction.
Understand
We establish goals, existing conditions, constraints, available information, and the decisions the engineering must support.
Analyze
We evaluate loads, materials, systems, code criteria, interfaces, and practical alternatives.
Document
We communicate the selected solution through clear calculations, reports, drawings, details, or specifications.
Support
We remain available through review and construction to answer questions and respond to field conditions.
Frequently asked
Good questions lead
to better projects.
When are deep foundations appropriate?+
Deep foundations may be appropriate when near-surface soils cannot support the required loads, settlement must be controlled, groundwater is high, or site conditions favor lower-disturbance installation.
What is building shoring?+
Shoring is temporary structural support used while load-bearing elements are removed, altered, repaired, excavated around, or replaced.
Do you coordinate with geotechnical engineers and specialty installers?+
Yes. Foundation performance depends on coordinated geotechnical recommendations, structural loads, product data, installation methods, and field verification.
