How to Design Faster, Safer Foundations Using Geotech Reports

Whether you're building a cell tower, a substation, or a mid-rise commercial structure, the geotechnical report is where every strong foundation begins. Yet, many projects lose time and money because the data isn’t used to its full potential. At PierTech™, we work with engineers and installers every day to turn soil data into smarter, more efficient foundation designs—especially when it comes to helical systems.

Here’s how we help you streamline the process:

1. Understand Soil Behavior, Not Just Bearing Capacity

Geotech reports provide more than load-bearing values. Our engineering team interprets subsurface profiles to assess soil strength, cohesion, water table depth, and potential corrosion factors—all of which influence pile size, depth, and materials.

2. Design Foundations That Match the Site, Not the Default Specs

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. PierTech™ uses your geotechnical data to deliver value-engineered solutions that meet your load specs without overdesigning or overbuilding. That means lower material costs, faster installs, and safer outcomes.

3. Eliminate Uncertainty with Engineered Drawings & PE Stamps

Our team provides customized, stamped drawings that align with local code requirements, soil conditions, and your structural loads—so your submittals and permits move faster, with fewer revisions.

4. Plan for Performance, Not Just Placement

We factor in uplift, lateral loads, corrosion rates, and site logistics—so your helical pile system performs from day one through decades of service life.
