Foundation and Shoring Services

Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) Piles
Auger Cast in Place (ACIP) Piles

Kelikai specializes in the installation of Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) piles and Auger Cast in Place (ACIP) piles, using ground-breaking technology. CFA/ACIP piles are the new generation of auger cast piles, installed using fully computer monitored European style drill rigs rather than a bulky crane and leads setup.

Drilled Shafts

Kelikai is capable of drilling shafts ranging from 24 to 96 inches in diameter at depths in excess of 100 feet. Given the wide range of soils in Hawaii, we have experience in a wide variety of subsurface conditions, including saturated soil, cemented gravels, cobbles and boulders, rock formations, concrete, obstructions and low blow count silts.

Micropiles

Micropiles are frequently used where a deep foundation system is required in difficult substrata conditions, or where driven piles or large diameter systems are impractical due to subsurface obstructions, or limitations presented by existing buildings at or adjacent to the project site.

Sheet Pile Installation for Shoring

Sheet piles are a popular choice when compared to secant/tangent pile systems, because they allow for relatively quick and simple installation, without the need for spoils handling and several layers of supplementary services. Other advantages of sheet pile systems are that the sheets themselves can be re-used on multiple projects.

Seawall Repair with
Permeation Grouting

The longest seawall in the state is at the West End of the island of Maui. Over 1000 feet long, we were tasked with stopping the erosion of the foundation of the wall attributable to tides and wave activity.

Secant and Tangent Pile Walls

Secant pile are a series of overlapping concrete piles capable of providing earth shoring and water-tight cutoff walls. They can be installed in nearly any condition using a variety of drilling methods, but we are most efficient and effective when constructed using CFA or conventional casing systems.
