TIMING IS CRITICAL
By Keith Wayne, President & CEO
Getting older means I have a lot of memories and experiences to draw from. I can’t remember what I had for dinner last night, but I can conjure up any imaginable scene from our past business experiences in a second’s notice. One major theme from my business experience that I want to share is around the subject of timing.

In our business planning cycles, we must decide what our strategy is AND the timeline we intend to make it happen. Timing is critical.

GROUND IMPROVEMENT & DIFFERENTIAL SETTLEMENT
By Cameron Day, PE, Senior Project Manager (Geotechnical)
The Charlotte area is home to a geologic province known as the “Piedmont”, a region well known for a mixture of silty soils underlain by varying forms of weathered and competent rock formations. The unpredictable nature of this geologic province poses many challenges to owners, general contractors, and specialty geotechnical contractors as it pertains to differential settlement.
