Keller delivers proven geotechnical construction solutions that support the safe, reliable performance of power generation and energy facilities. With decades of experience supporting critical infrastructure, we help owners and developers manage subsurface risk and protect long‑term asset performance.
Power facilities place significant demands on ground conditions due to heavy equipment loads, vibration sensitivity, and strict serviceability requirements. Keller works with project teams across the power sector to address challenging subsurface conditions and deliver reliable foundation and ground improvement solutions for new construction, expansion, and retrofit projects.
Keller offers a broad range of geotechnical construction techniques tailored to the unique requirements of power generation and energy facilities. Our integrated design‑build approach enables us to develop constructible, cost‑effective solutions tailored to site conditions, loading criteria, and operational needs.
Depending on project requirements, solutions may include ground improvement, deep foundations, or combined systems designed to control settlement and support long‑term performance. Keller works closely with owners, engineers, and contractors to sequence work efficiently and minimize disruption to ongoing operations or adjacent facilities.
Keller supports fossil‑fueled power plants with geotechnical solutions for heavy, settlement‑sensitive structures such as cooling towers, turbines, and fuel handling systems. As coal‑fired facilities are increasingly converted to LNG to reduce emissions and operating costs, our foundation and ground improvement techniques help ensure safe, efficient upgrades.
We stabilize soft soils and support accelerated construction schedules using vibro replacement, soil mixing, and wick drains. Where structural upgrades require load transfer in restricted areas, micropiles and grouting methods, including compaction and jet grouting, provide reliable foundation performance.
Keller also delivers earth retention systems to protect adjacent structures during below‑grade construction. Groundwater barriers and soil mixing are used to isolate fly ash ponds and stabilize contaminated soils, while wick drains support the reclamation of tailings ponds and other legacy features.
Keller supports new dam construction and upgrades to existing hydroelectric facilities with geotechnical solutions focused on seepage control, structural stability, and ground improvement. Jet and cement grouting are used to construct cut‑off walls and grout curtains that reduce permeability and prevent erosion, while compaction grouting stabilizes voids, sand filters, and sinkholes.
Soil mixing methods provide low‑permeability cut‑off walls, and anchors and earth retention systems reinforce dams, spillways, and adjacent slopes. In seismic regions, vibro replacement, soil mixing, and jet grouting are applied to mitigate liquefaction and control settlement. Keller pioneered computerized data acquisition and remote‑controlled grouting on hydroelectric projects and continues to lead in quality control and innovation.
Keller provides specialized geotechnical solutions for nuclear facilities, supporting settlement‑sensitive structures, including cooling towers, turbines, containment structures, and spent-fuel storage. Our foundation and ground improvement systems help ensure stability, constructability, and long‑term performance.
For plant upgrades and major equipment replacements, Keller delivers deep foundations and grouting solutions to support heavy cranes and loads within tight, congested sites. Ground improvement methods, including vibro replacement, soil mixing, and wick drains, are used to mitigate liquefaction, control settlement, and consolidate soft soils, supporting efficient construction for new facilities and expansions.
Keller provides fast‑track foundation solutions for solar energy projects, supporting panel arrays subjected to compression, uplift, and lateral loads. We deliver reliable foundation performance using a range of pile systems suited to site‑specific ground conditions and project requirements.
With specialized equipment and efficient installation methods, Keller installs piles through dense and variable soils while maintaining schedule and budget certainty. Our approach supports scalable solutions for solar projects of all sizes and levels of complexity.
Keller delivers reliable foundation and ground improvement solutions for wind energy projects, supporting planned and existing turbine installations. Our geotechnical systems address challenges related to bearing capacity, settlement, uplift, and seismic performance.
Depending on site conditions, Keller applies deep foundations, anchors, and ground improvement methods to transfer loads to stable soils and improve foundation behavior. Wick drains and other improvement techniques are used to consolidate soft soils and support efficient construction. With proven experience and advanced quality control, Keller helps ensure safe, cost‑effective, and durable foundations for wind energy infrastructure.
Keller provides geotechnical foundation and ground improvement solutions for transmission and distribution infrastructure, helping address challenges related to bearing capacity, slope stability, liquefaction, and constructability. Our work supports reliable performance across diverse terrain and subsurface conditions.
Depending on site requirements, Keller delivers foundation systems and ground improvement methods to support transmission towers and structures, stabilize weak or variable soils, and control settlement. Earth retention solutions are used to protect slopes and support construction in challenging locations, including ridges and remote sites. With a design‑build approach and specialized access capabilities, Keller delivers cost‑effective, high‑performance foundations for transmission and distribution systems.
Keller provides geotechnical ground improvement and foundation solutions for biofuel facilities, supporting tanks, silos, and other critical structures. Our solutions address settlement, bearing capacity, and seismic considerations that are essential for facility expansions and upgrades.
Keller applies ground improvement methods to strengthen soils prior to construction, supporting efficient schedules and enabling shallow foundation systems. Where post‑construction issues are present, grouting techniques are used to relevel structures and arrest settlement. By improving subsurface conditions, Keller helps control differential movement and protect critical connections, supporting long‑term stability and performance of biofuel facilities.
Keller has supported power and energy projects across North America, delivering foundation and ground improvement solutions for critical infrastructure.
