Pioneer’s geotechnical engineering staff becomes actively involved in the planning stages of a project, often in consort with the designers, civil and structural engineers. We evaluate subsurface conditions to determine technically sound and cost-effective foundation options for projects ranging from the construction of racking systems and substation/transmission structures to the access roads and other on-site structures.
