or over 50 years, Hayward Baker has been helping people nationwide build a solid foundation for their homes and businesses. Based in Hanover, Md., the geotechnical construction company recently opened an office in Charleston offering a full range of preand post-construction foundation services. Hayward Baker is annually ranked No. 1 in the field by Engineering News-Record. Dan Holley, project manager at Hayward Baker’s new Charleston office, explained that during a construction project, a property owner or general contractor consults a geotechnical engineer to evaluate the ground conditions and lay out solutions for improvement. “We’re the one that builds those solutions,” Holley says. Hayward Baker’s services include foundation rehabilitation, settlement control, liquefaction mitigation, soil stabilization, slope stability and excavation support. “Hayward Baker constructs the best geotechnical construction solutions for projects in a cost-effective, timely and safe manner. We offer full design-build services for virtually any foundation application,” Holley says. “Subsurface conditions can vary greatly within a jobsite and the CONTACT INFO: 4 Carriage Lane, Suite 203 Charleston, SC 29407 (843) 804-4000 www.haywardbaker.com

characteristics of the soil in place play a crucial role in determining which geotechnical construction method is best. As the industry leader, we have the knowledge, experience and skill to make the right determination.” From offices in neighboring states, Hayward Baker has provided ground improvement services in the Lowcountry for over 25 years for many projects, including aviation and port facilities in addition to numerous commercial, industrial and government projects. In addition to large projects, Hayward Baker also provides solutions for smaller projects. “There is no project too small or too large for us,” Holley says. “In fact, the majority of our projects are relatively small commercial or light industry projects.” “What sets Hayward Baker apart from other companies is that we have national resources, but we operate like a small company; meaning our customers get the service they would expect from a small company, but we have unmatched construction and engineering resources” Holley adds. “Our clients also appreciate that we can take care of them no matter what the challenge or if conditions change during a project, since we offer the most complete range of services.” TOP LOCAL EXECUTIVE: Dan Holley, P.E.
