DEEP FOUNDATIONS

Post tensioning increases concrete strength by applying compressive force that reduces cracking in marine and bridge structures. This helps foundations handle heavy loads and environmental stress more effectively. Photo Credit: DYWIDAG
Post-Tensioning Innovations for Marine and Bridge Foundations
Helical piles provide immediate load bearing support because they do not require curing time and can be installed in active commercial or industrial facilities. Their torque based installation method offers predictable capacity confirmation during every project. Photo Credit: EagleLIFT, Inc.

MARINE CONSTRUCTION

Offshore lifting rope is designed to work safely in deepwater conditions where high loads, dynamic forces, and corrosion are constant challenges. Its construction supports stable lifting operations for offshore cranes and winch systems.
Elevating Marine Projects with High-Strength Rope Solutions
Deck mounted barges carry propulsion units directly on the deck, which allows operators to convert standard barges into self propelled platforms without modifying the hull. These systems are widely used in marine construction because they provide controlled maneuvering in shallow or restricted waterways. Photo Credit: Thrustmaster of Texas, Inc.
Deck-Mounted Propulsion Packages for Self-Propelled Pile Driving Barges
Helical piles transfer loads into deeper stable soils that are not affected by coastal erosion. This helps seawalls stay aligned even when the upper layers shift.

STEEL PILING

Structural steel beams maintain consistent strength because they are manufactured with controlled tolerances. This reliability makes them ideal for deep foundations in heavy construction.

New steel pipe offers full traceability, consistent wall thickness and predictable performance that meets stringent piling specifications. It is often preferred in marine, industrial and high load foundation environments where certification is required. Photo Credit: Challenger Pipe & Steel, LLC
Tips for Choosing New vs. Used Steel Pipe in Piling Projects
Sheet piling exposed to marine conditions corrodes faster due to constant moisture and chloride contamination. Proper surface preparation slows this process and supports long term structural performance.
