FOUNDATION ENGINEERING

At Higgins Designs, we specialize in providing comprehensive foundation engineering design services to ensure the stability and longevity of your construction projects. With our expertise and dedication to excellence, we deliver innovative solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of your project.

ELEMENTS OF THIS SERVICE

FOUNDATION DESIGN & ANALYSIS

We offer customized foundation design solutions tailored to the unique requirements of each project. Whether it's shallow foundations, such as spread footings or mat foundations, or deep foundations, such as piles or drilled shafts, our engineers utilize advanced analysis techniques to ensure the stability and performance of the foundation system.

DEEP FOUNDATIONS

In situations where shallow foundations are not feasible due to poor soil conditions or heavy loads, deep foundations provide a reliable solution. Our engineers specialize in designing deep foundation systems, including driven piles, drilled piers, and caissons, to support structures securely and efficiently.

EXPANSIVE SOIL DESIGN

Expansive soils pose unique challenges for foundation design due to their tendency to swell and shrink with changes in moisture content. Our engineers specialize in designing foundations that mitigate the effects of expansive soil, such as providing proper drainage, incorporating moisture barriers, and implementing appropriate foundation types and reinforcement.

RETAINING WALL DESIGN

Retaining walls play a critical role in supporting soil and preventing erosion in areas with changes in elevation. Our engineers specialize in designing cost-effective and structurally sound retaining walls using various materials and construction techniques, ensuring stability and functionality while enhancing the aesthetics of your project.
