Oregon ground

What makes Oregon foundations move

Oregon’s varied geography — from the rainy Willamette Valley to coastal cliffs to high desert — means foundation problems here aren’t one-size-fits-all.

Soils

Willamette Valley silty clay

Oregon's expansive valley clays shrink in summer and swell in winter, creating cyclical stress that gradually separates foundations from stable bearing soil. The Portland metro and the Eugene basin both sit on this soil profile.

Slopes

West Hills and coastal slopes

Portland's West Hills and Oregon's coastal range add hillside and landslide-prone conditions to the mix. Retaining walls carry more load every wet season.

Coast

Coastal soft soils

The Oregon coast — Yachats, Newport, Manzanita, Bandon — presents marine soils, bluff erosion, and seawall loading that require specialized pile engineering. Our Eugene team has worked the coast for over 20 years.

Seismic

Cascadia Subduction Zone exposure

Oregon is directly in the Cascadia fault's path, statewide. Seismic retrofitting is part of our Oregon work from schools in McMinnville to utilities in Eugene.
