Design/Build

GTFC-West has an experienced staff of licensed Geotechnical and Civil engineers with nearly 30 years of experience in design and construction of Engineered Aggregate Piers. These engineers design every project, provide stamped design submittals for permitting, oversee field quality control, and furnish record drawings and data reports upon completion of pier installation.

GTFC-West's Design-Build packages include:

Consultation and interaction with the project team from Schematics through the detailed Record Drawing and Data Report
Preliminary design and cost analysis
Final design and Stamped/Sealed Design Submittals
On-Site Quality Control inspection supervised by our licensed Geotechnical Engineers
On-Site modulus testing and formal report - confirming design parameters

Every GTFC-West design package is subject to rigorous in-house peer review and quality assurance prior to submission to your project team for permitting. Every drawing and specification is carefully reviewed to assure economical and practical constructability.

Green Building

We promote sustainable methods and Clean Tech ideals. Our GeoRam designs and construction processes often use less total energy and leave a smaller carbon footprint than other alternatives. We install the eco-friendly Chance® anchors.

Using the GeoRam® technology, the Engineered Aggregate Piers can reuse excavated on-site soils when appropriate; can be constructed with natural, local aggregate; or can be built with recycled crushed concrete from building, bridge or road demolition. Designed to reinforce weak soils, our processes replace the need for costly, resource-depleting deep foundations or overexcavations.

Let us help you understand how you can gain LEEDs (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) credits towards your project certification goals.
