Geo-Structural Expertise

The practice of matching site-specific geotechnical parameters with structural demand has the potential to reduce concrete volumes and/or pile lengths, reducing overall cost and schedule associated with foundation construction.

With beginnings as a micropile engineering company focused on solving difficult logistic construction challenges, this is a concept QS is highly familiar with.  Micropile foundation costs are heavily influenced by site-specific subsurface characterization, so in-house geotechnical engineering has been a part of our design process from the start.  When foundation designs can be tailored to accommodate both structure loads and the specific ground conditions that will support these loads, excess conservatism can be reduced and a more efficient foundation system can be installed.
