Ground Improvement – Installing Aggregate Piers
THE PROBLEM
CNC Foundations’ client had plans to build an industrial building on a designated site. The client commissioned a geotechnical exploration to determine the site’s soil conditions and bearing capacity. The exploration showed the site’s soil was not stiff enough to independently support the building’s weight. It was concluded that ground improvement was the best solution in order to improve the soil’s bearing capacity.
OUR SOLUTION
CNC Foundations provided a ground improvement solution of Aggregate Piers (also called Vibratory Stone Columns or VSCs) in order to strengthen the soil and support the building’s weight. Aggregate Piers were determined to be the best and most cost-effective solution for this jobsite.
THE RESULT
CNC Foundations installed Aggregate Piers/VSCs to keep the project on schedule and within budget. The client is now able to grow their business and enhance their impact on the community with this new facility.

Logistics Center
America’s west coast is known for its seismic activity. This hazard adds an element of risk to every construction project that workers in other parts of the country do not have to worry about in their day-to-day work. Luckily, CNC Foundations is equipped with the knowledge and tools to help even the most specialized ground improvement projects.
Vibratory Stone Columns
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plant
A chemical plant was adding a new manufacturing facility. The sub-surface conditions generally consisted of a sand/gravel material to a depth of approximately 10 feet. The material below the fill consisted of stiff gray clay approximately 9 to 18 feet thick.
Ground Improvement
Warehouse
A proposed new structure consisted of a 400 x 600-foot warehouse with column supports on a 40 x 40-foot grid. This foundation was designed to support a new warehouse featuring an open bay structure with lightly loaded columns and a floor slab supporting heavily loaded storage racks.
