Services

Shoring, earth retention, and specialty foundations.

On large commercial and infrastructure projects, deep cuts, neighboring foundations, and steep sites can limit where support fits. We design shoring and specialty foundations around those constraints.

Shoring and support of excavation

Temporary excavation support and permanent earth retention beside buildings, streets, utilities, and property lines.

Shoring and Support of Excavation DesignTemporary excavation support and permanent earth retention designed around neighboring structures, site access, and construction stages.Temporary Shoring DesignTemporary support for large commercial excavations before the permanent structure can carry the load.Soldier Pile ShoringSoldier piles, lagging, and bracing designed together for excavations with changing depths, tight boundaries, and limited working room.Tieback ShoringAnchored shoring that leaves working space inside an excavation, with layouts that account for property rights, utilities, and nearby foundations.Soil Nail WallsSoil nail walls for staged excavation and retaining work, with nail layouts and facing designed for the ground conditions and available space.

Foundations and site stabilization

Structural support where ground conditions, existing foundations, or access constrain the work.

MicropilesMicropile foundations for sites where access, existing construction, or structural loads limit other foundation options.UnderpinningEngineered support for existing foundations affected by nearby excavation, foundation upgrades, or changes in how building loads are carried.Slope StabilizationStructural support for hillside sites, based on the slope geometry, geotechnical findings, property boundaries, and room for construction.Retaining WallsPermanent retaining walls designed for the finished grades, nearby structures, and excavation needed to build them.

Structural review

An independent review of structural design when a project calls for another engineering perspective.

Structural Peer ReviewA focused review of structural designs, calculations, details, or proposed changes, with the questions and extent of review agreed at the start.

Earth shoring for agency-reviewed projects.

Excavation beside transit, on a school campus, or next to an operating hospital can require structural support coordinated with the project's review requirements.

LA Metro earth shoring and excavation supportShoring beside tunnels and transit facilities, with documented Wilshire Grand work and the distinction between Metro screening and technical review.DSA earth shoring for California schoolsTemporary excavation support and permanent earth retention on school and college sites, including the DSA-reviewed Glendale Community College project.HCAI / OSHPD hospital earth shoringExcavation beside operating hospital facilities, illustrated by Hoag in Newport Beach. Review requirements depend on the building and the proposed work.
