Structural stabilization of a settled foundation at a townhouse building - Highlights:

• A corner of a 4-unit townhouse building has settled due to soil shrinkage, with movements of up to 3 inches. The existing surface soil conditions are suspected of moving with seasonal moisture changes and are unlikely to reliably support the foundations.

• We analyzed the structure to determine the factored loads of the building to be supported. We worked with a geotechnical engineer, and a helical pile contractor, to take out necessary building permits at the City of Langley and place deep helical pile foundations to work and support the building and stabilize it.

• Even though the project was relatively small in scope, making it uneconomical for many larger consulting companies, we provided a high level of customer service and competent engineering expertise at a reasonable cost to the client. We have the expertise to be versatile to our client's needs.
