DEEP FOUNDATIONS

Continuous flight auger piles are installed in a single uninterrupted process that keeps the bore stable from start to finish. This reduces the risk of collapse in loose or water bearing soils. Photo Credit: FDS Foundation Drilling
Continuous Flight Augers: Optimizing Soil Displacement in Piling Operations
Bridges built in difficult terrain often rely on large diameter drilled shafts because they can penetrate mixed soils and anchor securely into bearing strata. This allows bridge piers to resist vertical, lateral and uplift forces even when surface soils are weak or unpredictable. Photo Credit: Morris-Shea
Deep Foundation Innovations for Bridge Construction in Challenging Terrains
Renting pile driving and drilling equipment helps contractors reduce capital expenses and avoid long term ownership risks. It allows them to scale machinery needs according to project phases and soil conditions. Photo Credit: Hammer & Steel Global, LLC

MARINE CONSTRUCTION

River and channel dredging restores safe operating depths for construction vessels that support piling projects. Without routine dredging, sediment buildup can halt equipment access and delay critical foundation work. Photo Credit: Ellicott Dredges, LLC
River and Channel Dredging for Infrastructure and Piling Projects
Dredge pumps are designed to move high concentrations of sand, silt and slurry with minimal clogging. Their heavy duty construction allows them to operate in abrasive environments for long periods.
Why Used Dredge And Pump Equipment Is a Smart Investment
Greenheart is one of the few hardwoods documented to perform reliably in both freshwater and saltwater environments for decades. Because it is naturally strong and stable, engineers often choose it for critical infrastructure where failure is not acceptable. Photo Credit: South America Lumber

STEEL PILING

Tips for Cost Effective Steel Sourcing in Piling Operations
Threader systems guide sheet piles into the correct interlock from ground level, which reduces the chance of misalignment during driving. Ground-release shackles let crews disconnect lifting gear without climbing, which improves safety on marine and land-based piling sites. Photo Credit: Stab Cat, Inc.
Safe Sheet Pile Handling: Innovations In Threaders And Shackles For Piling Operations
Surplus steel pipe is often sourced from unused industrial inventory, including cancelled orders, overruns, and excess stock from fabrication shops or steel yards. When properly inspected for structural integrity, this material can be fabricated into reliable marine piles at a significantly lower cost than newly manufactured pipe.
