Engineering assessment of existing soil conditions will determine the foundation design depending on the planned structure. Shallow foundations are the most commonly used when encountering good soil conditions. In the instance of poor soil conditions, deep foundation design may be required. In this case, driven piles may need to be employed.

Understanding the bearing capacity of a variety of piling options will be critical in designing the most cost effective options for our clients. EarthTec Geotechnical can offer same day subgrade inspection and soil bearing capacity letters for shallow foundations.
