Support of Excavation Consultants in NYC, Manhattan, The Boroughs, Nassau County, Suffolk County, Long Island, and New Jersey - Kagaoan Engineering

On top of earthworks, other things like permits, regulations, and OSHA guidelines dictate what methods of bracing are necessary for any dig. Using a local expert like Kagaoan Engineering is one way to ensure that your business gets someone with the experience and expertise to design the best soil bracing system for your needs.

Every area has unique soil characteristics and climate trends that help our geotechnical engineers at Kagaoan Engineering design structures for shoring up trenches and protecting workers and property. Our professionals have years of experience working in New York and the surrounding states. We understand how difficult it is to remove groundwater from some locations and how grading is not as straightforward as it might seem. Because we are a tri-state leader in site excavations, project design, soil testing, and other earthworks needs, your team can count on us to provide an affordable, time-sensitive, and straightforward design that will help you stay on track before, during, and after the dig. 

These bracing systems work the opposite way of the external support arrangements. Instead of moving the weight load to a nearby area, internal bracing transfers loads within the excavation site. Construction teams often use items like rakers and floor slabs for this style of excavation support to shore up the walls and give the crews a solid foundation for work. The choice between internal or external mechanisms depends partially on whether there is enough room for workers to complete the job inside the excavation area. 

Safety is the number one reason for support of excavation consulting teams. While your project is never going to be a carbon copy of the dig next door or even a satellite office, we know that some things are consistent. The earth will move when digging commences. Nearby structures, people, and property can suffer damage without bracing the excavation site. To minimize the size of the dig, the use of tiebacks and struts holds back the earth while the work goes on. 

Shallow trenches and deep excavations are two different animals in the engineering world. Digging into the ground for more than ten feet means a whole new set of problems and concerns are present. For instance, the groundwater level, drainage, soil composition, lateral shifting, and space to work all factor into what items our consultants use for the job. 

Whether you need design assistance, consulting expertise, or on-site remediation, our team of designers and engineering specialists at Kagaoan Engineering have a track record you can trust. Our skilled team of workers can customize solutions to your unique project needs, and we can help you stay on track with design and budget. When you need to dig next to an adjacent building, the entire situation can get sticky, but our team understands the logistics of excavation support and has the insurance, licensing, and guarantees to give you peace of mind. 

When your construction team needs to dig on your site, then call our helpful staff at Kagaoan Engineering. Our local experience in New York gives us the knowledge of groundwater issues and soil makeup to help you decide which excavation support systems will be best in your case. Each dig requires unique solutions because the problems are not cookie-cutter. For more information, or to schedule an appointment with one of our engineers, please contact us.
