Deep Foundations

Engineered Foundation Technologies (“EFT”) is a specialty geotechnical contractor, providing deep foundation services to the New England region.

EFT utilizes a multitude of technologies to solve structural foundation and geotechnical problems, including:

• Settling Foundation Repair:  Buildings built over poor soils are highly prone to differential settlement.  Settling foundations typically require deep foundations for permanent repair.
• Helical Piles are a type of deep foundation that is “screwed” down into the ground, advancing through poor soils and anchoring into the stronger soils below.
• Drilled Micropiles are a type of deep foundation that can penetrate through buried rocks/obstructions.  Drilled micropiles are typically the most expensive deep foundation EFT provides.
• Push Piles are installed to repair a settling foundation.   They require dense glacial till and/or bedrock to attain load capacity.
• Soil Improvement, sometimes also referred to as compaction grouting, is an alternative to a deep foundation system.   The process involves injecting an expanding polymer grout into weak subsoils.
