  • Systems and methods for connecting a structural member to a pile
    Patent number: 10760602
    Abstract: A connecting system for connecting a pile to a structural member has a core portion, a first interface portion, and a second interface portion. The core portion defines a system axis. The first interface portion defines a reference plane and is adapted to be connected to the core portion and the structural member. The second interface portion is adapted to be connected to the core portion and the pile. The second interface portion fixes a position of the system axis relative to the pile. The core portion allows adjustment of a position of the reference plane relative to the system axis.

  • Earth boring systems and methods with integral debris removal
    Patent number: 10392871
    Abstract: A drill string comprising a bit portion, a distal extension portion, a proximal extension portion, and a connecting portion. The bit portion is operatively connected to the distal extension portion and the connecting portion operatively connects the distal extension portion to the proximal extension portion to define supply path and a return path. The supply path extends through the distal proximal extension portion, the connecting portion, the distal extension portion, and the bit portion to a cutter region associated with the bit portion. The return path extends from the cutter region through the bit portion, the distal extension portion, the connector portion, and the proximal extension portion.

  • Systems and methods for installing pile structures in permafrost
    Patent number: 9957684
    Abstract: A pile system for permafrost comprising a pilot hole, at least one pile, and frozen slurry. The pilot hole is formed to a pilot hole depth. The at least one pile is arranged at least partly within the pilot hole and extends to a pile string depth. The frozen slurry is within the pilot hole and is at least partly around the at least one pile.
