What We Do
Ground Improvement
West Shore has leaned on its extensive foundation experience to provide ground densification services for both large infrastructure projects as well as private sector projects.
What We Offer
Ground improvement solutions that provide improved ground bearing capacity and seismic liquefaction resistance, as well as vertically loaded columns. Stone columns and vibro-replacement columns form the core of these options, often going hand in hand with other deep foundation options.
Stone Columns Capabilities
We install stone columns using a mandrel probe and vibro replacement method which creates a dense vertical column while also densifying the surrounding ground. This provides greater bearing capacity than the traditional stone column methods.
Timber Densification piles Capabilities
Timber densification piles can provide an efficient ground improvement option, especially where soft or unconfined layers may reduce the effectiveness of stone columns or additional vertical point loading capacity is needed.
