Ellington Cross is a geotechnical contracting company specializing in the design and construction of Ground Improvement systems, specifically liquefaction mitigation systems.

Ground Improvement consists of densifying, compacting and/or draining soils in-place to increase bearing capacities and shear strengths, reduce settlements, stabilize slopes and to mitigate liquefaction potential. Improved soils can support structures on shallow foundations or can be used in conjunction with deep foundations to improve lateral support and ultimate pile capacities.

Because Ground Improvement is a fraction of the cost of undercutting and replacing poor soils or installing deep foundations (piles/caissons), many sites considered too expensive to develop are now being revisited.

Our staff has performed the engineering and field construction of many challenging Ground Improvement projects worldwide. On those projects, owners have saved millions of dollars in project costs and months in construction schedules. We look forward to putting our expertise and experience to work on your next difficult soil condition project.
