Shallow Foundations

Shallow foundations rely on sufficient bearing area to prevent overturning, sliding and differential settlement of the foundation & structure.  This is the most common and economical foundation solution.

Types: 
  • Spread Footings
  • Pedestals
  • Saddles
  • Grade Beams
  • Strap Footings & Combined Footings
  • Mat Foundations
  • Block Foundations
Pile analysis

Deep Foundations

Deep foundations are driven piles or drilled shafts that extend for significant depth below the ground or sea bed.  Piles also require additional engineering for handling (lifting) and pile driving forces (impact or vibratory hammers).

Lateral Foundations

Lateral foundations hold back (retain) the soil while the opposite face of the structure (wall) is open to the air or water.  Typical structures are retaining walls, bulkheads and relieving platforms.
