Geopier soil reinforcement
has been used to support hundreds of projects in around the world.
Geopier solutions are used to support commercial, residential, industrial,
and transportation applications including buildings up to 20 stories
tall, industrial tanks, heavily to lightly loaded floor slabs, retaining
walls and embankments, and other transportation structures. Geopier
soil reinforcement is also used to provide liquefaction mitigation,
uplift resistance, and increased resistance to lateral loads.
Design representatives of Geopier
Foundation Company detail the Geopier soil reinforcement system
using loads provided by the project structural engineer and geotechnical
information provided by the geotechnical engineer. Professional
engineers, registered in the state where the project will be constructed,
develop the design. After preliminary design work is completed,
every project undergoes an internal peer review process by engineers
in the main office. Before going to construction, Geopier soil reinforcement
“shop” drawings are prepared and stamped by a registered
engineer and provided to the general contractor.
The Geopier installer acts as
a design-build subcontractor to the general contractor and installs
the Geopier system per the drawings and specifications developed
by the Geopier designer.
