Mountain West Division
Mountain West Drilling, Shoring & Ground Improvement
Major projects in the Mountain West require a geotechnical contractor with the regional presence and field capacity to keep complex work moving.
Pacific Foundation's Mountain Division is based in Caldwell, Idaho, and supports construction throughout the region. As a geotechnical subcontractor on Micron’s Boise expansion, Pacific has demonstrated the ability to perform at the scale these projects demand.
Pacific is building on that experience through major ITD and regional infrastructure work. That work also includes energy and power transmission projects throughout the Mountain West. The projects featured below represent only a portion of Pacific’s growing regional portfolio.
Difficult Ground
Rock, cobbles, variable fill, and groundwater require early alignment on tooling, temporary casing, spoils, and concrete placement.
Access & Platforms
Restricted work zones, slopes, overhead limits, and seasonal ground conditions affect equipment fit and working-platform design.
Mobilization Planning
Long haul routes, laydown, grout support, cranes, materials, and schedule windows belong in preconstruction—not as field surprises.
MOUNTAIN WEST EXPERIENCE
Dedicated to Getting the Job Done Right
Mountain States scopes often combine hard rock drilling with numerous logistical challenges ranging from boulders to constrained access to extraordinarily long mobilization schedules. Our team possesses the experience to get the job done right and set the tempo for the entire project.
When possible, Pacific works with the design and construction teams before foundation decisions are fixed. The review identifies site conditions that could change the work, unresolved risks, and the information still needed before construction.
Markets
Regional Markets We Support
Market context matters because the project environment changes access, testing, documentation, logistics, and the construction sequence around the specialty scope.
Advanced Manufacturing & Industrial
Large technical sites where rock drilling, working platforms, laydown, concrete coordination, phased turnover, and documentation affect repeatable field execution.
Transportation & Bridges
Bridge, roadway, and corridor work where traffic control, slopes, utilities, access, agency requirements, and work windows shape the foundation scope.
Water & Public Infrastructure
Treatment facilities and public works where groundwater, active operations, existing utilities, testing, and turnover records must align with the construction sequence.
Energy & Utilities
Utility and energy sites where live systems, outage windows, remote access, excavation support, and schedule interfaces need early definition.
Capability Routing
Foundation and Groundwork Capabilities
The structural need and site conditions determine whether the work requires deep foundations, earth retention, or ground improvement.
Route axial, lateral, uplift, diameter, depth, rock-socket, casing, and concrete-placement requirements into a buildable deep-foundation plan.
Review load, bond zone, drilling access, overhead clearance, groundwater, testing, and connection details for limited-access or high-capacity scopes.
Define retained height, adjacent conditions, utilities, easements, groundwater, excavation sequence, lagging, anchors, and monitoring requirements.
Match settlement, strength, cutoff, treatment geometry, spoil generation, verification, and access requirements to the site and structure.
Mountain West Division
Large Modern Fleet. Ready to Mobilize.
Idaho's Treasure Valley is Pacific Foundation's Mountain West equipment yard and home base. The yard combines primary and specialty drilling systems with the support equipment needed to keep field production moving. It represents only part of Pacific's total inventory.
Primary Drill
Bauer BG 33 H
Large-diameter foundation drilling for demanding ground and production requirements.
Primary Drill
Bauer BG 24
Foundation drilling capacity for regional drilled-shaft and pile scopes.
Specialty Drill
Klemm KR 806-3D
Compact multipurpose drilling where access, setup, and geometry control the plan.
Lifting
Mantis 15010
Seventy-five-ton crawler crane capacity for foundation and material-handling support.

Regional Experience
Selected Mountain West Projects
Pacific’s regional portfolio extends well beyond the work featured here. These selected projects offer a representative view of the complex geotechnical scopes Pacific is supporting throughout the region.
Advanced Manufacturing · Mountain West
Drilled-shaft work in rock with reinforcement-cage handling, concrete-placement coordination, and spoil-handling interfaces.
Transportation · Wallace, Idaho
Bridge foundation work combining drilled shafts and pipe-pile scope within a constrained transportation setting.
Transportation · Hayden, Idaho
Sound-wall foundation work where drilled elements, corridor access, utilities, traffic interfaces, and sequence shaped execution.
Water & Wastewater · Coeur d'Alene
A water-infrastructure scope involving CFA piles, drilled shafts, and jet grouting within an operating treatment environment.
