The construction of buildings on reclaimed marshland, past dumpsites, and river or coastal shorelines frequently requires the use of pile foundations to avoid excessive settlement and structural damage. Waterfront projects may also require piles to resist lateral forces from wind
and waves.

NE&C utilizes the information obtained from geotechnical investigations of the project site to develop pile design criteria and construction implementation recommendations. Our engineers prepare pile driving specifications, then monitor the pile installation and load tests to verify design assumptions. NE&C's geotechnical engineers have been responsible for the design and installation of thousands of piles in a multitude of soil conditions. We are unique in our capability to provide multi-disciplinary pile foundation design via in-house waterfront, marine, geotechnical, and structural engineering resources.
