We provide complete caisson drilling and test drilling services. From hillside to beachfront projects we can handle all types of drilling conditions. Caissons are engineered to support structures such as foundations, retaining walls, pools, or to stabilize failing hillsides. Drill rigs drill through unstable surface soils in order to reach deeper bedrock that is capable of supporting the weight of the structure. Steel rebar cages are placed into the drilled hole and then it is pumped with concrete. Typically grade beam foundations are placed over a grid of drilled piles or a retaining wall is built bearing on a grade beam that is tied directly to the caissons.
