Construction continues at the Kwik Trip Kitchen and DC Freezer Additions project in La Crosse, WI. Geopier Impact® system is being installed to reinforce the loose to medium dense silty sand fill and loose sands with some organics to support column loads of up to 170 kips and wall loads of up to 9.5 kips per lineal foot. The moderately loaded floor slabs (with racking systems) required the use of ground improvement for settlement control.

Introducing Geopier's newest Intermediate Foundation® solution: the GeoSpike℠ System. This system is a low-cost method for strengthening weak railroad track subgrades without removing railroad tracks, ties or ballast. The GeoSpike system was used to help Canadian National, who was experiencing vertical and lateral deflection along a section of track just south of Sarnia, ON in St. Clair. Approximately 130 elements were installed in two days and results showed deflections were reduced by more than 60% after the GeoSpike installation.
