Keller Group
Our team specializes in deep foundations, ground improvement, and grouting solutions tailored to the region’s challenging subsurface conditions, including soft delta soils and high groundwater environments.
Based in the Vancouver area, Keller supports projects across British Columbia, including the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. Our teams deliver geotechnical solutions for urban, infrastructure, and waterfront developments across a wide range of site conditions.
Geotechnical expertise in Vancouver
The Vancouver region presents complex geotechnical challenges influenced by its coastal location and river systems. Keller’s local teams have experience addressing:
- Soft, water-saturated soils in the Fraser River delta
- High groundwater conditions and floodplain environments
- Liquefaction risks associated with seismic activity
- Construction in dense urban and waterfront settings
Much of Metro Vancouver is built on sedimentary deposits, where loose, saturated soils can be highly susceptible to liquefaction during seismic events. These conditions require advanced ground improvement and foundation solutions to ensure long-term stability and resilience.
