DEEP FOUNDATION / UNDERPINNING


HGS
performs three major types of deep foundation / underpinning:


Helical Anchor Systems

Helical anchor system  is with helical bearing plate and shaft combination are hydraulically advanced to load bearing strata to provide both compression and tension applications

Helical Anchor System Application
 

Underpinning
New construction foundation support
Marine tiebacks
Communication & electrical transmission tower
   


Minipiles

Minipiles is using conventional pipe pilings for underpinning, new construction and limited access applications where only compression is needed

Minipiles Applications
 
Foundation stabilization
Lift and level
Limited access
New construction
   


Cast in place augered pilings

Cast in place augered pilings are grouted pilings constructed by drilling a continuous flight hollow stem auger to a specified depth.  Cement based grout is then pumped throughout the auger as it is slowly withdrawn

Augered Piling Applications
 
Foundation support (compression mode)
Rock/soil anchors for uplift and tieback applications (tension mode)
Soldier pile cut-off walls
Underpinning
   

CONCRETE REPAIR / REHABILITATION


Repair of deteriorated/damaged concrete requires intricate knowledge of material, repair geometry and coefficient of thermal expansion.  HGS has the experience and resources to tailor your concrete repair project to your specific needs.  We use only state of the art materials and techniques to achieve repairs that will not only return your structure to its original state but will also last for the life of the structure.

HGS performs three major types of chemical based grouting:


Spall Damage Repair

HGS uses only the top of the line high tech repair materials to replace damaged or deteriorated concrete and rebar

Spall Damage Repair Application
 
Deteriorated Concrete
- Beams
- Columns
- Structural Slabs
Marine Applications
- Above waterline
- Below waterline

Fire damaged structural members

Epoxy Injection

By using both high and low pressure techniques and with their extensive knowledge of available products HGS can economically repair cracked beams, columns, and slabs.  We use only top of the line equipment and materials to assure a repair that will exceed expectations

Epoxy Injection  Application
 
Repair cracked beams
Repair slabs
Repair columns
   

Carbon Fiber Reinforcement

Through the use of cutting edge Carbon Fiber Reinforcement strips and roll material HGS can repair damaged columns, double tees and structural slabs. Damaged concrete members can often be repaired to standards that exceed the original bearing design.

Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Application
 
Repair damaged columns
Repair double tees
Repair structural slabs
