SFS promotes and funds continued research to further advancements in the geotechnical field.
At SFS we promote and believe research is a necessity for our future. We recently sponsored a Master's Thesis Research Project for an SFS employee at Montana State University. The testing was done on footings supported by Aggregate Piers.
