Foundations
Solid foundations for lasting projects. Our expertise in foundation engineering ensures the stability and safety of your structures, adapted to the specific conditions of each environment.
Structural Design of Shallow and Deep Foundations
We provide comprehensive foundation engineering services tailored to structural requirements and soil conditions. Our work includes the design of shallow foundations (footings, slabs-on-grade, retaining walls) and deep foundations (helical or driven piles), in compliance with the Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual and CSA standards (A23.3, S16).
Efficiency and Safety
Each project takes into account applied loads, allowable settlements, soil bearing capacity, and integration with existing structures. We also design structural bases for industrial equipment. A rigorous analysis of soil-structure interaction and connections with surrounding works ensures the durability and performance of the entire system. Our solutions are developed in collaboration with other disciplines to guarantee efficient and safe implementation.

In-depth expertise at every level
Shallow Foundations
We design shallow foundations based on structural loads and soil characteristics. Sizing is carried out in accordance with current standards, considering allowable settlements and soil bearing capacity. Foundation types include isolated footings, strip footings, slabs-on-grade, and retaining walls. We also analyze connections with existing structures to ensure structural continuity and acceptable differential settlement.
Deep Foundations
We provide deep foundation solutions adapted to low-bearing-capacity soils or high-load conditions. Our designs include helical or driven piles, selected based on site constraints and expected performance. We also design pile caps to ensure optimal integration with the structure. The entire system is validated according to applicable structural and geotechnical standards.
Equipment Bases
We design custom structural bases to support various types of mechanical, industrial, or specialized equipment. Each base is sized to account for static and dynamic loads, vibrations, anchoring requirements, and compatibility with existing foundations. Our approach ensures optimal integration across disciplines while guaranteeing the overall system’s stability, durability, and performance. We work closely with mechanical teams and equipment manufacturers to deliver reliable, precise solutions that meet current standards.
