I have worked with Sam and Mudasser for many years. They have supported me on numerous projects involving both design or testing of temporary shoring systems and permanent foundations. Sam and Mudasser have helped me on both tender and final IFC stage designs of soil retaining systems, such as cofferdams for river piers, secant walls for deep excavation, soldier pile wall with tiebacks for roadway protection, and sheet piles wall with waler and struts. We have also designed and executed static pile load tests and PDAs. I always appreciate their contributions in identifying and evaluating design options in client meetings with us, and their technical support in resolving emergent construction issues in the field. They are certainly a knowledgeable team in the piling and shoring industry.
