At Thorcon Shotcrete and Shoring, our list of services goes on and on—beyond the basics we’re well known for. Here at our headquarters near Denver, Colorado in Littleton, we work to bring you updated information on our services, how shoring and geotechnical news advances worldwide, and examples of our work. Here’s a recap of some of our recent blogs covering various aspects of our shotcrete and shoring services.
- Shotcrete Walls and Advances
Not only have we put up a shotcrete wall in Fountain, Colorado, but we also reported on a new architectural wall that was put up at the National Zoo. Then there was this touching story of how gunite wall patches produced life-long childhood memories. We reported on a new safety-oriented shotcrete which could help keep structures stable in the event of a terrorist attack or bombing. We also covered a story about a shotcrete replica of the Chauvet caves.
- Soil Nail Information and Micropile Applications
We covered the history and cost-effectiveness of soil nails before digging into the details about favorable and unfavorable soil conditions for nailing. We also told the stories of how micropiles are being used by shoring contractors to stabilize structures such as the National Corvette Museum, an interstate bridge in Indiana and even railroads through the Rocky Mountains.
- Installation Services
Back in June, we reported an updated list of our services, including installation services. We install piezometers, inclinometers and grouting.
- Engineering Updates
Geotechnical and civil engineers around the world have been busy over the last few months. We reported a story about engineering surveys going on for another underground tunnel in Europe, an academic discussion about the Leaning Tower of Pisa, as well as a new Engineering Research Center which has been granted to ASU—and which will be specifically focused on geotechnical engineering.
