For Well-Anchored Foundations

Our expertise in drilling and injection of cement grout makes LEG an exceptional partner for installing anchor rods on your Berliner walls or secant walls. Our fleet of drills can handle all the constraints associated with this type of work, whether in a restricted urban environment or on difficult to access terrain. In addition, our specific expertise in all formulations of cement grout guarantees that your retaining wall work is in good hands, ensuring the stability and durability of your structures.

Foundation Work on Permafrost

Permafrost is very sensitive to temperature variations. The heat generated by a building or infrastructure can melt the ice contained in the ground and lead to sagging and instability of the foundations. The properties of permafrost vary considerably from one location to another depending on the composition of the soil, the ice content and the thermal history. This heterogeneity makes it difficult to predict soil behaviour and requires advanced geotechnical studies to design suitable foundations. Building on permafrost often requires specific techniques and materials, such as deep foundation piles, ground cooling systems and insulating embankments. These solutions can result in higher construction costs than on unfrozen soil. To overcome these constraints, it is essential to call on experts in geotechnics and permafrost construction, such as LEG, who have the experience and knowledge to install foundations adapted to these particular conditions.

Sometimes the Only Solution Is a Specialized Foundation

There are times when it is not possible to place foundations directly on the bedrock and the soil is too soft to ensure good structural stability. This is when LEG’s specialized foundation solutions can turn a nightmare into a success. Whether it is installing bored steel piles or micropiles, or consolidating the ground with concrete piles, LEG is your trusted partner. Our expertise in drilling and cement grout injection, combined with our fleet of specialized equipment, allows us to meet the most complex foundation challenges and ensure the stability and durability of your structures, even in the most difficult conditions.

Drawing Energy From Deep in the Ground

LEG has the expertise and equipment needed to install geothermal wells, which is a sustainable and efficient energy solution. Our teams master deep drilling techniques and the installation of geothermal equipment, guaranteeing the performance and reliability of your system. We are able to take charge of your entire project, from the geotechnical study to commissioning, including obtaining permits, coordinating the work and integration with your heating and air conditioning system. Our goal is to offer you a turnkey solution that is environmentally friendly and economically beneficial, to get the most from geothermal energy.
