About
Who we are
Highly responsive and performance-driven.
Kent Foundation Solutions installs helical pier and deep foundation systems for commercial applications including new construction, foundation repair, retaining walls, shoring tiebacks, and boardwalks and walkways. Our depth of knowledge and capacity to perform stem from our experience building many of the largest concrete structures in the region. We set the pace on fast-track projects because we own our installation equipment and maintain a comprehensive inventory of helical piles. We are ready, responsive and widely sought out for complex foundation systems.
Applications
Foundation Repair
Helical piers stabilize failing foundations for commercial and residential structures.
New Construction
Helical piers overcome challenging soil conditions and enable contractors to build on a solid foundation.
Retaining Walls
We stabilize failing retaining walls by installing helical tiebacks to anchor the wall to competent, load-bearing soils.
Boardwalks & Walkways
We are regional experts in building and stabilizing waterfront boardwalks and walkways. Helical piers offer fast and low-impact installation for sensitive environmental areas
Incline Tram Foundations
We install foundation systems for tram cars, with extensive experience on lakefront properties and steep inclines.
Temporary Shoring & Tiebacks
We install temporary shoring solutions for complex building projects across the Midwest.
Safety Culture
There is safety in numbers.
Our safety program has two fundamental tenets: Our people are our first priority, and our data drives accountability. We equip our teams with industry leading PPE, training and technology to plan, monitor and report on jobsite safety in real time.
Careers
We want to build with you.
At Kent Foundation Solutions, this is more than a job. This is a family. We provide challenging work, opportunities for professional development, and a total rewards package built around you. The best part is it comes wrapped in a culture built on values and integrity.
