Heavy Civil Drilling & Caging Installation
We provide auger cast piles, drilled shafts, and helical piles for commercial and industrial site preparation across Washington and Oregon. As a heavy civil installer, we execute the drilling and caging scope based on your stamped drawings and geotech reports. If you are early in the process and need a structural engineer, we can recommend a licensed Washington firm to get your project started. Once your plans are ready, we review the site access, soil realities, and utility layouts to deliver a fixed, transparent estimate before mobilization. Our goal is to provide a turnkey earthworks package that keeps your construction schedule moving without unexpected delays.

Planning Your Deep Foundation Project
The Role of Geotech and Engineering in Deep Foundations
Before we can bid on auger cast piles, drilled shafts, or helical piles, you must have a geotech report and stamped structural drawings. We are a heavy civil installer, not a design firm, and we do not provide structural load ratings. If you are in the early stages of planning a commercial retaining wall or deep foundation project, we can recommend a licensed Washington engineer to draft your plans. Once your documents are complete, we handle the physical site assessment, scope review, and execution. This clear separation of roles ensures that your project meets all local regulations while benefiting from our practical jobsite experience.
Managing Site Access and Soil Removal
Drilling and caging requires heavy equipment access and significant soil displacement, which must be managed carefully on tight commercial sites. Our turnkey earthworks package includes the initial excavation, site preparation, and the haul-off of spoils generated during the drilling process. By managing both the dirt work and the pile installation, we reduce the number of subcontractors you need to coordinate on site. We also handle the installation of underground utilities and drainage systems once the deep foundation work is complete, leaving the site fully prepped for the next phase of construction.
