Soilmec Experts Series

Our customers grapple with tough real-life issues on complex projects every day. These heroes share what they've learned peer-to-peer to help save time, money, and headaches in our Soilmec Experts Series. 

Tangent Wall Construction

Precision is key in tangent wall construction. Pacer Foundations constructed a large, 122-pile tangent wall at an oil sands mine in Alberta, Canada. Even small errors in piling location or verticality would have caused discontinuity in the wall, thus disrupting the final center piles.

Microdrilling in Confined Spaces

On a microdrilling project, it's all about logistics. HUB Foundations built the foundations for a new 18-story structure atop an existing 8-story parking garage, with as little as 5 feet 6 inches of headroom in pits of 5 ft by 5 ft in the lower levels of the parking garage.

Drilling in Remote Locations

In remote locations, versatility is important. Henry Drilling and Sharp's Construction Services installed foundations for a 344-km (214-mile) power transmission line in a rugged and remote region of British Columbia.
