Foundation Construction Consulting

Without a solid foundation that sits on a sturdy ground pack, your business or structure will not withstand the elements. The weight load of the building can cause the ground to shift and move. Rainwater and seepage from the ground let moisture into the soil if it does not have the right materials in the mix.

Geotechnical engineers work with builders to ensure that the foundation will hold up for the maximum possible time. From the moment your business decides to break ground, you will need expertise from construction crews, engineers, designers, and other technical help.

Kagaoan Engineering is a team of engineering professionals and design specialists that can help you through the entire process of building a robust foundation. Our technicians and staff members work with foundations, soil testing, load shifting, monitoring technologies, retrofitting, and repairing slabs. We understand the permit process and what soil types are common in and around New York. Our local expertise can give you the answers your team needs to create a foundation that will serve your needs for decades.

Soil and Ground Water Testing

Our licensed workers will bore holes in the ground and take cylindrical samples of soil to test. Using highly advanced equipment, we can determine what mix of minerals, soil, and rock are in the ground where you want to erect your warehouse, business complex, or apartment building. Our foundation construction consulting team can determine how much compaction your soil needs and whether underpinning, external bracing, or retaining walls will be beneficial in your case. Every solution is custom because no two properties are alike. The grading is different; the soil mix means that drainage happens differently on various parts of the property, and so on. Environmental considerations are also crucial at this phase to make sure that tree roots and undergrowth will not prematurely damage the foundation.
How Retaining Walls Help Protect Your Foundation

When you pour a large slab of concrete, it will settle and move as the cement dries and it rains. As the water beneath the soil saturates the ground, shifting can cause strain on part or all of the foundation. In some cases, a retaining wall or other shoring methods can hold back lateral weight loads and prevent side to side shifting. These structures stabilize the earth around the foundation while minimizing the weight against the foundation.

Underpinning and Soldier Pile Support

When your business is on soil that is prone to erosion, sagging or movement, then using a vertical stabilizing method is another way to strengthen the build. These structures can go into place before the construction or post-build. When you are expecting future foundation issues, a proactive approach can help save your business the time, money, and headache of retrofitting a solution.

Excavation Support is Necessary for Existing Slabs

Any existing slab work will require some excavation to reach the area where the repairs will happen. When you dig a trench or have a deep excavation, then temporary shoring is necessary to protect the crew and to prevent the sides from caving into the hole. Our engineering firm has the equipment, licensing, and experience to perform any size dig safely and correctly. Plus, our sophisticated software programs help us visualize your project in a three-dimensional view giving us the ability to see where we can make changes or beef up the support to keep the job safe and on track.
