Projects
Industrial & Energy
Foundation, shoring, and ground improvement support for industrial and energy projects where heavy loads, active operations, and complex site constraints drive the work.
Overview
Heavy Site Constraints
Industrial and energy work can bring heavy loads, live operations, utility conflicts, congestion, work windows, and documentation requirements into the foundation plan. Those constraints need to be understood before method and production assumptions are fixed.
Heavy Loads
Industrial structures, equipment pads, and energy facilities can drive deep foundation review.
Active Operations
Live facilities may limit work hours, access, and turnover sequence.
Critical Infrastructure
Facility function, outages, and operational risk can shape construction constraints.
Site Congestion
Utilities, structures, laydown, and equipment routes can limit how work is staged.
Utility Coordination
Known and unknown utilities should be reviewed before excavation or drilling begins.
Schedule Windows
Outages, shutdowns, and phased turnovers can control the field sequence.
Relevant Capabilities
Drilled Shafts
Large-diameter deep foundations for bridge, building, industrial, and infrastructure loads.
Auger Cast Piles
CFA piles for deep foundation support where vibration, access, or sequence matters.
Micropiles
Small-diameter deep foundations for limited access, retrofit, and difficult ground conditions.
Ground Improvement
Soil improvement systems for settlement, strength, cutoff, and constructability requirements.
Soldier Pile Walls
Earth retention systems for excavations, constrained sites, and adjacent structures.
Ground Anchors / Tiebacks
Anchoring and tieback support for retained excavations, walls, and shoring systems.
Featured Projects
Industrial & Energy Project Experience
Avista Metro Substation Phase 2
Spokane, WA
Pacific Foundation drilled and set rebar cages for large-diameter shaft foundations at Avista's Metro Substation Phase 2.
Bull Run Filtration Facility- KS-11 (Pile Wall)
Gresham, OR
Pacific Foundation installed soldier piles and lagging for the KS-11 pile wall at the Bull Run Filtration Facility, with shotcrete scheduled for a later phase.
Lower Granite Dam
Pullman, WA
Pacific Foundation installed 32 each 54 in diameter drilled shafts with 48 in diameter rock sockets over water, drilled through water, overburden and hard bedrock for the Lower Granite Dam project.
Aligned PDX01
Hillsboro, OR
Pacific Foundation supported the project with rigid inclusions.
Synagro – Sand Island
Honolulu, HI
Pacific Foundation performed jet grouting for the Sand Island biosolids upgrade, using vertical and battered jet grout elements to treat ground around an existing utility on the constrained wastewater treatment plant site.
Washington Park Reservoir
Portland, OR
Pacific Foundation supported the Washington Park Reservoir project with temporary and permanent soldier pile walls, tieback anchors, drilled shafts, dewatering, cathodic protection, instrumentation, tower-crane shafts, carved shotcrete, soil nail walls, and toe block anchors.
Foss Maritime Dock
Portland, OREGON
Pacific Foundation pre-bored pile holes for a new Foss Maritime dock along the Columbia River using a barge-mounted BG24H.
Tri City Solids Handling Facility
WA
Pacific Foundation supported the Tri City Solids Handling Facility project with grouting.
Kapalama Wharf & Dredging Project
Honolulu, HI
Pacific Foundation predrilled around existing utilities, mobilized cutter-mixing and grout equipment, and completed cutter mixing and jet grouting for the Kapalama Wharf & Dredging project.
