Deep Foundation Engineering Solutions
Deep foundation support systems are constructed to transfer structural loads through inadequate bearing soils to stronger soils or rock at greater depths. Gambit designs and installs systems for new construction, retrofitting, and underpinning using drilled shafts, micro piles, and auger cast piles.
Bored Piles
Load-transmission members through weak soil layers that derive capacity from end-bearing and skin friction. Bored piles resist uplift forces and lateral loads through drilled holes filled with concrete and reinforcement, making them suitable for a wide range of soil conditions and structural requirements.
Auger Cast Piles
Slender members (12–18 inches diameter) transmitting loads via skin friction, constructed by drilling with hollow stem augers and pumping cement grout under pressure as the auger is withdrawn. This creates a continuous column of grout-encased reinforcement with minimal soil disturbance.
Micro-piles
Advantageous for restricted access and low overhead areas, micro-piles derive capacity through grout-to-soil friction and reinforcing steel. Equipment fits spaces as narrow as a few feet and as low as 8 feet overhead, making them ideal for underpinning existing structures and constrained site conditions.
Driven Piles & Pipes (Impact Hammer)
Steel, timber, or precast concrete piles driven vertically or at an angle using an impact hammer. Classified as displacement piles, they are highly efficient for transferring loads in granular soils and are suitable for projects requiring rapid installation of high-capacity foundation elements.
