Cased Micropiles Across Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania's foundation drilling contends with both abandoned anthracite and bituminous coal mine voids in the state's historic mining regions and karst limestone terrain in the south-central counties, presenting PennDOT and commercial developers with borehole conditions conventional drilled piers cannot reliably cross.

This pattern is consistent with the broader Subsurface Void & Sinkhole Problems challenges GSI addresses across the state.

How GSI Delivers Cased Micropiles in Pennsylvania

Steel Casing Through Unstable Zones

Steel casing on Pennsylvania cased micropiles bores through abandoned mine voids in the state's historic coal regions, a legacy condition that has complicated foundation work for decades. GSI's cased micropiles capability supports this step.

Bearing in Competent Bedrock

Cased micropiles founding below Pennsylvania's mine-affected or karst zones are verified through test borings, since historic mine maps are often incomplete or inaccurate. This is one application of GSI's broader foundation bearing micropiles expertise.

Compression and Uplift Capacity

Compression and uplift capacity is built into Pennsylvania cased micropile design, accounting for the full range of foundation demand across the state's mining and karst regions alike. GSI's engineers experience informs this approach.

This approach is informed by GSI's broader mining operations work across Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania Cased Micropiles Process

GSI follows a systematic five-step process to deliver cased micropiles solutions in PennDOT corridors and beyond.

Step 1

Site Assessment

GSI engineers evaluate conditions and severity at your Pennsylvania site.

Step 2

Root Cause Investigation

In-house geologists investigate the specific conditions driving the issue, referencing Pennsylvania's Appalachian folded sandstone, shale, and limestone with historic coal mining.

Step 3

Engineered Solution Design

Custom design matched to Pennsylvania's site-specific geology, hydrology, and infrastructure loading.

Step 4

Design/Build Execution

One team executes the engineered solution under a single PennDOT-ready contract.

Performance Warranty

Design/build/warranty coverage on every cased micropiles solution installed in Pennsylvania.

Why Pennsylvania Trusts GSI for Cased Micropiles

Engineered for Pennsylvania's conditions. GSI's Pennsylvania cased micropiles address both the state's historic mining legacy and its karst limestone terrain — two distinct sources of borehole-collapsing voids. It's backed by GSI's broader commercial properties and our case studies capability.

Design/build delivery. A single team handles design and construction — closing the gap between what's designed and what's built.

PennDOT specification compliance. Design documentation and construction practices meet DOT specifications from initial design submittal.

Retaining Wall Repair for Commercial Property in Ohio

I wanted to let you know how impressed we were with your company. Time will tell how well it all worked, however, the professionalism and quality of your team was most obvious. I truly believe we could not have picked a better company for this large endeavor. I was there yesterday showing it to our owner, and was quite proud of the work you did. Everything you promised, you delivered. And though there were a couple snafus, based on a job this large, it was beyond minor and also you made it all right in the end. Thank you for that. In speaking with Tammie, our Property Manager and Dave--the quality of your guys working was top notch.

Again, ask me years from now how it is working, but if ever we had another job with your name on it, it would be a pleasure and honor to work with you again!

Landslide Repair for Infrastructure in California

“I would like to thank you and the county for repairing the road slide on Dunne avenue. The repair is excellent and the contractors were very efficient and skilled. You personally did a great job of providing information about the status of the project. My family appreciates your efforts.”

Erosion Control for Water Infrastructure in Minnesota

I am sending this to you from Duluth Minnesota where 4 of your employees just finished working on a wall they had put in for us previously. That was a few years ago after Duluth suffered a flood. We are on Lake Superior and St. Louis County wanted to help stop erosion. The guys worked during the rain and just kept on going, like little Energizer bunnies. Nice fellows, all of them!! They are certainly a credit to your company and I feel it is always good to give thanks to people for a job well done. Please let them know how much we appreciated their dedication to get the job done. We will always wish you and your team good days ahead!!
