Company > Profile/History
Who is Hayward Baker?
Hayward Baker Inc., North America's leader in specialty geotechnical construction, is committed to provide the most economical and technically correct solution for each geotechnical challenge.

Whether your site requires Foundation Support and Rehabilitation, Settlement Control, Structural Support, Site Improvement, Soil and Slope Stabilization, Underpinning, Excavation Shoring, Earth Retention, Seismic Stabilization or Ground Water Control, we are ready and eager to assist you.

Experience

Experience is the key to consistent, high-quality performance. At Hayward Baker, we have been applying our Ground Modification technologies to site improvement and remedial work for over 30 years. We coined the term Ground Modifications to describe the specialty that encompasses the full range of techniques available to densify or otherwise improve the ground as an integral part of the construction process. This depth of geotechnical problem solving, together with the right people and the right equipment, translates into dependable on-site performance.

We even develop and build much of the equipment we use because experience proves that specialty solutions demand specialty tools.
