We thank you for your consideration.
Your proposed structure and all the improvements are supported by soils.
Selecting the right firm to ensure solid foundation is vital.
Often, geotechnical services are less than 1% of the proposed improvement investment.
Because of this minor percentage in soils investigation and testing, selecting the lowest priced consultant would not measurably impact the overall project budget.

Underpinning & Shoring Design for a multi-story building with subterranean parking, Bay Area, CA.
No need for a deep foundation support.
Recommended inter-connected shallow foundation system with a mat slab for on grade parking.
This solar array was located in semi-rural area.
The soils were medium dense Clayey SAND.
The soils had enough cohesion.
A composite driven pile at the lower end with drilled cast in place pier at the upper end was chosen.
Foundation Engineering Consultants, Inc., reviewed existing excavation support design plans.

We are already using it on residential foundations and distressed pavements and parking lots.
This firm is the only company in the world able to use this technology for the next 20 years.
This is now a new option available to sites having highly expansive soils.
In summary, soils with moderate to very high swelling pressures cause distress to lightly loaded slabs and pavements.
In the past, it was necessary to either use structural slabs, post tensioned slabs, ribbed mat or pier & grade beam foundations for the buildings.

Foundation Engineering Consultants, Inc., FEC, provides soils report and retaining wall design as a package.
Geotechnical parameters: These include the bearing pressure the soil or bedrock can withstand, limiting movements post construction, earth pressures, drainage provisions, surcharges and global stability.
Structural design: Design of wall and footing, general, material & construction notes, calculations and retaining wall plans.
Convenience: You deal with one firm so this simplifies contacts and improves accuracy and speed of service.
