Foundation Specialists   " FS Group of Companies " is a Multinational Group of Construction Company with Italian participation and management, with Head-Quarters strategically based in Manila, Philippines.

Foundation Specialists  [FS ] was formed in the early 1970s by merging and consolidating into It two Partnerships with  solid background and successful accomplishments in the Engineering and Management of Large International Infrastructure  Projects.

The two Concerns that were merged to form Foundation Specialists, over the years dedicated to develop and manage the planning and  construction of large Underground  Hydropower Schemes, including Pump-Storage Hydropower Plants, in difficult geological and geo-morphological conditions, had managed through theoretical and field R & D to fine tune field applications of Geotechnical and Foundation Engineering, Soil and Rock Mechanics and had developed Construction Methods and Technologies applicable to general conditions.

Because of the way it was formed,  Foundation Specialists started “ab initio”  as a leader in its consolidated  fields of expertise, i.e.  large, complex infrastructure projects with important foundation-engineering-related components.  
Foundation Specialists   has continued for the past three decades  to be a successful contractor of large infrastructure projects with sensitive Soil Mechanics & Foundation Engineering related component, and a recognized leader in the field of   Foundation Engineering applications, Deep Foundation works , Bridges & Bridge-related Engineering Works, Bridge Retrofitting, Soil Remediation, Large Excavations under the water table, Hydro-Structures and  in the Design-&-Development of Construction Methodologies and Technologies, both "ad hoc" (i.e. for specific project) and for general application.

Foundation Specialists  has been successfully engaged in a multitude of projects in coastal areas, including reclamation areas,  with high seismicity  and difficult soil conditions, bridge construction, ports & harbor works, industrial plants, Telecom outside plants, power generation and power transmission, mass-transit systems, roads & highways, road tunneling and infra development in general, in South-East Asia, Middle East, Africa and Australasia, where FS operates alone or in Joint Venture, Consortium  and Association with other Companies.

Aside from Project-based  J.V., Consortium,  Association, all usually co-terminus with the projects, Foundation Specialists is present with permanent Companies and Representative Offices, in Europe: Italy, SouthEastAsia: Philippines, Australasia: PNG Papua New Guinea, Middle-East:  Qatar .                   http://foundation-specialists.com

Foundation Specialists Group of Companies in the late 1970s moved the Head-Quarters to Manila, Philippines, a most  convenient base for Asia and Pacific Operations.

The Philippine company Foundation Specialists, Inc.  based in Makati City , Metro – Manila, is a General Contractor with  "AAA" PCAB category for general engineering and general building, and Large "B" for the Public Sector  Infrastructure Projects. Foundation Specialists, Inc.  has been engaging in the construction of large INFRASTRUCTURES  [flyovers, bridges, underpasses, overpasses, wharfs & piers, tunnels, roads, mass transit systems, elevated light rail systems, hydro power schemes and irrigation schemes], BUILDINGS (residential, commercial, industrial, institutional), INDUSTRIAL PLANTS, MULTI-LEVEL UNDERGROUND PARKING STRUCTURES, projects involving large amounts of FOUNDATION WORKS, for the last three decades.

Pioneering in the field of foundation engineering, Foundation Specialists has introduced technological innovations on foundation methods and technologies, such as large diameter bored piles, barrette piles, diaphragm walls, tie-back anchor systems, slurry walls, grout-plugs, jetgrout, whick drains, tangent/secant/contiguous pile-wall.  multi-stage-injected steel micropiles, soilcement columns, composite soilcement columns Post-tensioned ground anchors, soil & rock anchors, soil stabilization, soil remediation, pile wall, pile testing, among others.

Foundation Specialists, a well established leader in the construction industry, has been known since inception for targeting and consistently achieving a high degree of Customer satisfaction, early projects' completion, high quality of work standards, sound financial management. FS. deep involvement in R & D, has permitted the development of technological innovations and of proprietary technologies in the field of engineering.
