Across our published case studies
44 of 44 published case studies

Two HOA condo units settled 3.5". 42 helical piles recovered 2.75" and re-leveled doors, floors, and a pulling fireplace in 6 days.
40 Helical Piles, Tacoma Residence
Puyallup Tribal Housing: 40 helical piles + foam lifted a settling Tacoma home 3.5" ahead of a full remodel.
Support of Tacoma Home
A 1979 Tacoma home on a sloped lot settled 1.5". 4 helical + 3 driven piles plus carbon fiber straps stabilized the cracked stem wall.
Settled Residence, Cashmere
A Cashmere home dropped 2.5" near a creek. 4 helical piers re-leveled it in under 48 hours.
Gig Harbor Waterfront Seawall
A 115-ft Puget Sound seawall failing from soil loss: 11 helical tiebacks, 195 gal foam, drains, and 6 carbon fiber straps restored it.
Tacoma City Hall Seismic Upgrade
When helical piles couldn't reach torque in stiff soil, Ram Jack value-engineered a micropile solution with the geotechnical engineer for this civic seismic upgrade.
Vancouver Home Retaining Wall
19 steel H-beams with timber lagging leveled a sloped Vancouver, WA yard to the home's lower-floor elevation.
Alaskan Earthquake Recovery
After the 2018 M7.1 quake liquefied soil under an Anchorage home, 63 helical piles recovered 3" and damp future seismic forces.
Manzanita Two-Story Stabilization
13 helical piles lifted a Manzanita home to within ½" of level — most pre-existing cracks closed completely.
Restoring Home Value Before Selling
9 helical piers in 2 days fixed settlement before listing; the transferable lifetime warranty passed to the buyer at sale.
Supporting a Settled Foundation
13 exterior helical piles fully recovered a Eugene home's settlement (¾" lift) in 10 days, engineered with Regal Mortier.
Hayward Field Helical Anchors
Helical anchors secured hammer-throw cage towers for the 2022 World Athletics Championships without tearing up the competition surface.
New Construction Piles, Yachats
46 helical piles supported a retaining wall and strip footings on very soft coastal soils for new construction.
Oakway Substation Transformer Lift
4 helical piles + 2 tiebacks fully re-leveled a settled transformer pad within a tight utility window.
Residential Retaining Wall Repair
16 helical tieback piles + 24 steel beams arrested a rotated, failing Eugene retaining wall.
Strict-Seismic Foundation System
390 micropiles to 30 ft met strict seismic code on poor soil — validated by a full load-test program.
Swanson Saw Mill Rebuild
500+ custom helical piles rebuilt a mill foundation on contaminated post-fire fill, with torque exceeding 25,000 ft-lbs.
Portland Retaining Wall Spotlight
An engineered retaining wall restored usable, stable yard space on a Portland slope.
Cantilevered Wall for Fire-Lane Compliance
A 170-ft custom steel cantilevered wall met fire-lane code while preserving buildable area on a tight Portland site.
Portland Multi-Unit Recovery
27 piles to 60 ft lifted two Portland apartment buildings 3" in 11 days with minimal tenant disruption.
Portland Hillside New Construction
Grouted micropiles provided pre-construction deep-foundation support on a Portland hillside.
New Public Library, Gladstone
Micropiles + a soldier pile wall protected neighbors during construction of a 6,000 sq ft public library.
Spring Mountain Elementary Wall
Carbon fiber (SRS-600/660) + tiebacks rescued a bowing school playground wall without full reconstruction.
Patton Middle School Seismic Retrofit
270 helical piles to 65 ft seismically retrofit a 1972 school — finished ahead of schedule without interrupting the school year.
Adams School Campus Micropiles
84 low-headroom micropiles (~75 LF) reinforced an existing school foundation in confined space.
Bandon House New Construction
83 cased micropiles into mudstone bedrock mitigated liquefaction and lateral-spreading hazards for new construction.
Camp Namana Cabins
256 pin piles stabilized 8 cabins on large-scale landslide terrain, verified by 8 test piles.
Dollar General, Philomath
143 driven pin piles created a stable foundation for new retail construction.
PacifiCorp Seismic-Code Foundation
18 cased grouted micropiles (64 kips each) met seismic criteria for a PacifiCorp facility upgrade, validated by sacrificial test piles.
US-101 Retaining Wall (ODOT)
63 H-piles + steel lagging built a 700+ ft ODOT retaining wall along US-101 without lane closures.
Newport Hotel Retaining Wall
A 45-ft H-pile wall stopped a hotel lawn from sliding toward the beach 70 ft below — done in 5 days without closing the hotel.
Salishan Helicals
45 helical piles with pre-construction caps supported new construction at Salishan.
Spring St. Duplex
41 micropiles to 35 ft (load-tested to 200% capacity) supported a new duplex on the coast.
View Point Inn & Wellness Center
Full-building temporary support let crews excavate a new basement beneath an existing inn and replace the foundation.
Coos Bay Landslide Wall
A 150-ft, 22-pile soldier wall protected a home after a landslide pushed a hillside 4 ft onto its siding.
Crumbling Rock Wall
Soil nails stabilized a deteriorating rock wall threatening a public road.
Washington, DCDC Water Flood Protection
SW-RP1 grout injection created subsurface flood barriers for a D.C. drinking-water facility where sheet piles were impossible.
