SFS installed both displacement vibratory and traditionally open hole drilled aggregate piers for the new TPA Distribution Warehouse in Billings, Montana. The facility has the largest single building footprint in the City and has a combined structure area of nearly 300,000sqft. Piers were used to improve undocumented fills up to 30' in depth. 

SFS installed over 500 aggregate piers for the Capitol Student Housing project in Boise, Idaho. The piers were designed to improve undocumented fill up to 10' in depth and mitigate the need for costly over-excavation. Another quality project completed ahead of schedule!

Specialty Foundation Systems installed over 2100 displacement vibratory aggregate piers to support the Materne GoGo Squeeze building expansion in Nampa, ID.  The piers supported both footings as well as the slab and were used to improve existing site soils.

Specialty Foundation Systems recently installed aggregate piers and helical piles for the Old Town Flats project in Billings, MT. The piers were used to support column loads up to 650 kips in compressible soils which reduced total settlement to under 1". The variety of foundation systems we install also allowed us to use helical piles up against an existing brick wall where access only allowed for small equipment. Give us a call to see what we can do for your project!

Specialty Foundation Systems installed over 300 aggregate piers to support the new Springhill Suites in Ponderay, Idaho. The piers were used to support compressible lean clays with no bearing layer. The job was completed ahead of project schedule and in just 5 working days! 

SFS offers a complete design/build package for a variety of pier and pile systems. We recently installed soldier piles to restrain further movement of an existing wall that was failing. If you project has a special condition, limited access, aggregate piers, helical piles, driven piles, soldier piles, etc. give us a call to see what we can offer! 

SFS installed aggregate piers for the new Boise Airport East Parking Garage. The piers were used to improve up to 17.5' of undocumented fill. Full-scale modulus load testing showed under 0.4" of settlement at nearly 140kips. Another high quality project by our dedicated crews!

SFS installed over 200 aggregate piers to support the new headquarters for Onset Financial in St. George, UT. The piers supported column loads over 750 kips in compressible silts and clays. A full scale modulus load test showed individual pier capacities of 150 kips with under 0.5" of settlement.  SFS gets the job done!

Specialty Foundation Systems installed over 150 aggregate piers to improve compressible silts and clays for a new bank in Sheridan, Wyoming. During pier construction a peat layer, that had not been identified in the initial borings, was discovered. Our experienced field QC and design team worked in conjunction with the project Geotechnical Engineer to find a solution and continue progress with no delay in project schedule. We take pride in our design/build nature and invest heavily in training our field crews so that field changes in condition can be handled quickly and efficiently.

Specialty Foundation Systems installed 369 aggregate piers in 6 working days to support the new Rocky Vista University building in Billings, Montana.  A full-scale modulus load test showed individual pier capacities exceeded 190kips giving the Owner and design team peace of mind that the piers offered a high level of assurance over alternate options.

Specialty Foundation Systems installed 9 5/8" Diameter helical piles for a fall arrest system at the Gavilon Grain facility in Huntley, Montana. The piles will be used to ensure the safety of personnel while loading and unloading rail cars. 

Specialty Foundation Systems installed 260 aggregate piers in 4 working days to support the School Addition in Three Forks, Montana.  The piers were used to replace the more expensive over-excavation while also offering a higher level of assurance.
