DEEP FOUNDATIONS

Low-speed offtracking occurs when a trailer’s rear wheels follow a path inside the path of the tractor during a turn. Steering the rear axle group gives the transport team greater control over that travel path. Photo Credit: Pile Beam and Bridge Transport
How Steerable Trailer Systems Move Long Piles and Bridge Beams Through Tight Routes
OSHA requires the estimated locations of underground utilities to be determined before excavation begins. Their exact locations must be established by safe and acceptable means as work approaches them. Photo Credit: Blue Iron Foundations & Shoring, LLC

MARINE CONSTRUCTION

Bridge approach settlement can result from compressible foundation soils, loose fill, erosion, and other subsurface conditions. Correctly identifying the cause is essential before selecting a repair method. Photo Credit: Prime Resins

GEOTECH ENGINEERING

Soft ground conditions such as loose sands, soft clays, and uncontrolled fill can lead to excessive settlement if not addressed properly. Modern geotechnical engineering uses investigation and ground improvement to manage these risks before construction begins. Photo Credit: Garbin Geostructural Group LLC
