Design-Build Foundation Systems

Our Services

Specialty Foundation System's refined methods and modern equipment allow for a quick design turnaround, rapid mobilization, and an efficient project execution.

Our design and construction team have over 50 years of combined experience and been a part of over 1,000 projects across the United States.

Drill & Fill Aggregate Piers
Aggregate Piers

Drill & Fill Aggregate Piers

A traditional soil-replacement method where piers are built with well-graded crushed aggregate using a high-energy, low frequency (non-vibratory) vertical ramming tool. This creates extremely dense aggregate pier elements that can be used for foundation support, reinforce for liquefaction, and slope stabilization.

Ideal Site Conditions
  • Clay, silt, clayey sand, silty sand, soft or loose soils
  • Compressible soils
  • Undocumented fill
  • Nearby sensitive or occupied buildings
  • Soils where open hole drilling can be achieved without casing sleeves

Displacement Vibratory Aggregate Piers
Aggregate Piers

Displacement Vibratory Aggregate Piers

A dry bottom-feed vibratory displacement method where a mandrel is driven into the ground and the piers are built using open-graded stone. Installation increases the soil density, strength and stiffness as well as increasing the bearing capacity and reducing compressibility.

Ideal Site Conditions
  • Loose sand and silt sites with high groundwater
  • Liquefiable sites with seismic settlement
  • Contaminated soil sites (no spoils produced during production)
  • Soils where open hole drilling cannot be achieved without casing
  • Improvement depths in excess of 20' are required

Helical Piles
Helical Piles

Helical Piles

A tried-and-true foundation support system consisting of a central shaft with a series of helices which are screwed into a competent bearing stratum. Installation equipment is mobile and able to work on limited access sites with minimal site impact.

Ideal Site Conditions
  • Compressible soils
  • Expansive soils
  • Nearby sensitive or occupied buildings
  • Caving soils where open hole drilling is not cost effective
