- Liquefaction-prone tideflats fill: deep pile foundations and ground improvement for anything built on the flats
- Heavy crane and equipment loads for port, rail, and manufacturing facilities
- Seismic retrofit of unreinforced masonry in the historic downtown core
- Steep bluffs above the tideflats in the Stadium District and North Tacoma requiring retaining and hillside foundations
- Warehouse and distribution tilt-up construction along the I-5 and SR-167 corridor
Civil engineering
