Yes. Rigid inclusions can support heavy load demands for a wide variety of structures. Their increased stiffness and load‑sharing behavior make them well-suited for structural applications such as industrial buildings, warehouses, tanks, bridge approaches, and other facilities requiring strong and consistent ground support. Design considerations typically include load magnitude, settlement criteria, soil conditions, and [...]
Several types of testing are used to ensure proper installation and verify performance. These may include grout monitoring to document volumes and pressures, modulus or load testing to evaluate stiffness, and inspection of equipment logs to ensure construction parameters meet design requirements. Together, these quality checks help confirm that each rigid inclusion meets project [...]
The typical installation process for rigid inclusions begins with site preparation and layout of the column grid. Rigid inclusions are typically installed using displacement drilling techniques, where specialized tooling is advanced to the required depth and grout is pumped during withdrawal to form the column. This displacement‑based approach generates minimal spoil and creates consistent, [...]

Changing: Our name and branding. Staying the same: Our team, leadership, safety standards, and commitment to quality service.
It’s about growth and opportunity. Earth Tech’s 34 years of innovation and culture now join Menard’s global resources and reach, expanding our capabilities across Florida and the Southeast.
No, Earth Tech hasn’t shut down. We’ve simply rebranded as Menard. Same people, same expertise, same quality — only the name and logo have changed.
No. You’ll continue working with the same engineers, project managers, and teams you already know.
More technology, more resources, and access to a broader network of expertise through Menard’s global team.
Earth Tech’s 34-year legacy of innovation and quality now strengthens Menard’s story. Together, we’re building better — locally and globally.
