In today's society, with the awareness of our ecological balance and the concern over the environmentally sensitive wetlands,
products that minimize construction impact are required. Deep foundation solutions like micropiles and helical piers can provide significant assistance in the support of structures that require a more sensitive approach to the environment.
Environmental Remediation:
At times, soils become contaminated underneath structures. The problem becomes how to support the building while the soil is extracted and sent elsewhere to be remediated. Both helical piers and micropiles can be installed to underpin existing structures such that the soils below can be extracted. This method of soil remediation is reasonably quick and more cost effective than other remediation methods. EBS Engineering and Construction Limited have performed many of these repairs. Let our experts assist you in the design of your remediation project.
Boardwalks:
Chance Helical Piers are the answer. This displacement screw anchor installed with hand-held equipment is easily transported into these fragile areas with no excavation required doing the least amount of intrusion into these sensitive areas. Thousands of these INSTANT FOUNDATION anchors have been installed in the most critical areas; such as wetlands, beach fronts, prairies, and historical sites.
A good contractor needs to have two strong elements: the right equipment and the right people. EBS has both!! We have the equipment to install in environmentally sensitive areas. Our 
experienced professionals can evaluate the soil conditions on your site in combination with the loads applied by the structure to propose a cost effective solution. All installing personnel are thoroughly trained and certified in installation procedures and are supported by the extensive technical-support services of EBS Engineering and Construction Limited.
