DEEP FOUNDATIONS

Continuous Flight Auger piles rely on maintaining consistent concrete pressure during auger withdrawal to prevent soil intrusion and internal voids. Loss of pressure is one of the most common causes of reduced pile integrity in CFA installations. Photo Credit: Soilmec
7 CFA Tips: Avoiding Common Pitfalls in Pile Integrity and Soil Stability
Anchor drilling is commonly used in deep foundation projects to resist uplift and lateral loads in retaining walls, bridges, and excavation support systems. Proper drilling alignment and borehole quality directly affect anchor load capacity and long-term performance. Photo Credit: EMDE Bohrtechnik

MARINE CONSTRUCTION

Coastal infrastructure studies show that corrosion-resistant reinforcement can significantly extend seawall service life by reducing deterioration-related repairs. This is especially important where access limitations and environmental regulations make maintenance difficult and costly. Photo Credit: Basalt Engineering
Building Durable Seawalls: Advantages of Non-Rusting Reinforcement in Coastal 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
Shotcrete is widely used in seawall and bulkhead reinforcement because its high velocity application improves bonding to vertical and irregular marine surfaces. This dense placement helps reduce permeability and slows chloride intrusion in coastal environments.

STEEL PILING

Steel products used in marine construction are commonly exposed to saltwater, oxygen, and moisture, which significantly accelerate corrosion compared to inland environments. Proper material selection and corrosion protection methods help extend service life and reduce maintenance costs. Photo Credit: Alliance Steel Trading Corporation
Guide to Selecting Steel Products for Diverse Marine Construction Projects
Pile cutting is commonly used when piles are deeply embedded or located near active structures where vibration must be limited. Cutting piles below the mudline reduces disturbance to surrounding soils and adjacent infrastructure. Photo Credit: Coastal Pile Cutters International LLC
Pile Extraction & Cutting: When to Cut vs. Pull in Waterfront Projects
Structural steel beams maintain consistent strength because they are manufactured with controlled tolerances. This reliability makes them ideal for deep foundations in heavy construction.
