When shallow foundations aren’t enough, you need a partner who understands how to build from the ground down. The Deep Foundation Division of McRae Enterprises, provides expertly engineered deep foundation systems that ensure structural stability no matter the soil conditions.
Why Deep Foundations Matter
In commercial construction, poor subsurface conditions can threaten even the best building designs. That’s where deep we step in.
When traditional footings won’t work, we engineer systems that transfer structural loads to stable soil or bedrock layers below. Every foundation is tailored to the specific geotechnical report, ensuring longevity and safety from day one.
Services & Capabilities
We offer a wide range of deep foundation construction services, including:
- Micropiles – Ideal for limited access areas or seismic upgrades
- Permanent & Temporary Shoring Systems – Soil retention and structural support during excavation
- Helical Piers – no vibration, no displacement, quick installation and moderate load capacity
- Resistance Piers – no vibration, no displacement, quick installation and moderate load capacity
These systems are deployed using a highly coordinated process—designed to reduce risk, eliminate change orders, and deliver on time.
Built for Complexity
We’re known to solve hard problems. Our team specializes in deep foundation work for:
- Projects with poor bearing soils
- Sites with groundwater or tight access
- High-load commercial and industrial buildings
- Existing structures needing stabilization or underpinning
Project Highlight: CRS Headquarters
One local example is the CRS Headquarters in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The site required 45 deep micropiles to stabilize the subsurface before erecting a pre-engineered metal building.
The foundation work will keep the building anchored in the most extreme weather for generations to come, and the full project was completed ahead of schedule and under budget—demonstrating the impact of strong preconstruction planning and clear communication.
Collaboration Is Key
Deep foundation work isn’t just about installing piles—it’s about integrating seamlessly with your broader build. That’s why our team collaborates closely with structural engineers, architects, and general contractors from day one. You get alignment, accountability, and safety-first execution with no disconnects.
Plan Early. Build Better.
If your project might require deep foundations, don’t wait until the last minute to engage a specialist. The best outcomes happen when geotechnical reports are reviewed early and foundation systems are integrated into design and permitting.
We help developers, architects, and GCs reduce cost, risk, and schedule overruns—before they happen.
