Geopier is happy to be working with Prestwick Companies on the Riverview Landing project in Salem, MA.

A new school is breaking ground in Sacramento and Geopier Impact® elements are being installed to a depth of 40 feet to treat a site with potential for large liquefaction settlements. The Rammed Aggregate Pier® system is constructing stiff elements to densify and reinforced the in-situ silty sand and sandy silt soils to create a liquefaction resistant composite subgrade below the building footprint. The 1-story school is adjacent to a large municipal utility line. We worked closely with the project team and consultants to implement extensive vibration monitoring equipment to verify the specified vibration limit was not exceeded and ensure the integrity of the utility is maintained.

Peterson Contractors Inc., is at the OSU Wexner Medical Center Regional Ambulatory Facility in Dublin, OH. Construction includes a 5-story medical office building and a 3-story ambulatory service center. Geopier® elements are being installed to support the column (in excess of 1100 kips) loads and mat (in excess of 2500 kips) loads in soft to medium stiff sandy silt and sandy clay soils.

Geopier® is in Knoxville, TN installing Rammed Aggregate Pier® elements to support the Estes Express New Terminal. The use of the Geopier systems allowed the design team to support the structure on shallow spread foundations designed for high bearing capacity and reduced overall construction cost by eliminating the need for expensive deep foundations.
