Western Ground Improvement and Geopier Foundation Company are proud to be the only ground improvement system approved to provide direct foundation only support in the City of Los Angeles. Here we are in Canoga Park performing our first load test to kick the project off right. We will be supporting an 8 level parking structure with our 24-inch GP3® elements through soft and medium stiff clays to provide settlement control.

Happy to be part of this project with Dacon Corporation and Northeast Geotechnical, Inc., which consisted of an addition to an existing warehouse facility supported by Geopier rigid inclusions through soft and compressible organics in Quincy, MA.

Geopier licensee, EMIN Geoestructuras is working on a Beach Residential Complex on the south of Lima, Peru. Geopier Impact® piers are being installed to densify the loose soils prone to liquefaction and provide foundation support to more than one hundred home buildings.

Geopier X1® and Impact® systems are being installed to support the Denargo Market in Denver, CO - an 8-story residential building and 5-story parking garage. Geopier’s solution is being installed to reinforce the existing loose silty sand and sand with silt FILL and loose to medium dense silty sand to support column loads of up to 1,500 kips and wall loads of up to 18 kips per lineal foot.

A new hotel is breaking ground in Irvine, California with 24-inch GP3® elements being installed to support this 4-story structure. Piers are being constructed to about 14 feet below grade improving the undocumented fill and alluvial soils to provide static settlement control and mitigate liquefaction potential.

Read how Geopier's Rammed Aggregate Pier® and rigid inclusion elements were used in New Haven, CT, for the New Haven Downtown Crossing project. These systems allowed for traditional shallow footings and slab-on grade construction for a 14-story office building and parking garage located on College Street.
