What Treviicos does

Treviicos is a North American geotechnical engineering and underground construction contractor, founded in 1997 in Charlestown (Boston), Massachusetts, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Italy's Trevi S.p.A. The company executes specialty foundation, soil improvement, retention, and cut-off barrier work, organized around four service lines (Deep Foundations, Retention Systems/Shoring, Soil Improvement, Cut-Off) and seven expertise areas including Dams and Levees, Marine Works, Bridges and Causeways, Industrial and Civil Buildings, Ground and Underground Transportation, Environmental Solutions, and Special Projects. Its technical portfolio includes 21 proprietary or specialized technologies, notably patented VIBROTREVI driven piles, Self-Hardening Slurry (SHS) for cutoff walls, Trevi Directional Drilling Technology (TDDT), Trelicon CFA piles, jet grouting, and hydromill diaphragm walls capable of excavation beyond 200 meters depth in rock with UCS up to 60-80 MPa.

Treviicos generates revenue through project-based contracting as both a specialty subcontractor and general contractor, winning work through competitive bidding on public infrastructure and private development projects. Contracts include fixed-price and cost-plus arrangements with government agencies (predominantly the US Army Corps of Engineers for dam and levee rehabilitation) and private developers for healthcare, education, commercial, and transportation infrastructure. Marquee projects include the Herbert Hoover Dike around Lake Okeechobee (part of an $870M+ USACE program), Wolf Creek Dam, Tuttle Creek Dam, the World Trade Center East Bathtub, Boston Big Dig, Encore Boston Harbour, Boston Children's Hospital, and Harvard University and Harvard Law School buildings.

The company operates from Boston (headquarters), Houston (South Central regional office for the Gulf Coast), and Laval, Quebec (Canadian subsidiary TREVI Foundations Canada, Inc.), serving clients across the United States and Canada. It is staffed by 101-250 employees and benefits from integration with its parent's Trevi division (project execution) and Soilmec division (in-house equipment design and manufacturing), as well as the Trevi Group's worldwide footprint of approximately 65 companies operating in about 90 countries.

Products and services

• Deep Foundations Construction of deep foundation systems for buildings, bridges, ports, and infrastructure using techniques such as driven piles, CFA piles, micropiles, and large-diameter bored piles for load-bearing support.
• Retention Systems/Shoring Earth retention and shoring solutions using sheet piles, combi walls, secant piles, diaphragm walls, and ground anchors to stabilize excavations and adjacent structures.
• Soil Improvement Ground improvement services using dynamic compaction, vibroflotation, vibroreplacement, rigid inclusions, deep soil mixing, and wick drains to enhance soil bearing capacity and reduce settlement.
• Cut-Off Cut-off barrier construction using slurry walls, self-hardening slurry, and artificial ground freezing to control groundwater flow and contain contaminants in dam, levee, and environmental remediation projects.
• Micropiles Small-diameter drilled and grouted piles used for underpinning, slope stabilization, and foundation support in restricted access or difficult ground conditions.
• Diaphragm Walls – Hydromill Reinforced concrete diaphragm wall construction using Hydromill trench-cutting equipment capable of operating in hard rock to depths beyond 200 meters for deep excavations and cut-offs.
• Slurry Walls Excavated trenches stabilized with slurry and filled with concrete or soil-bentonite mix to create cut-off walls for dams, levees, and contaminated site containment.
• Driven Piles (VIBROTREVI) Vibro-driven precast concrete piles installed using the proprietary VIBROTREVI method, reducing ground vibration and noise during installation for sensitive urban sites.
• CFA Piles (Trelicon) Continuous Flight Auger piles using the proprietary Trelicon system for low-vibration installation of cast-in-place concrete deep foundations.
• Directional Drilling (TDDT) Trevi Directional Drilling Technology for installing horizontal or inclined drainage and remediation wells under dams, levees, and contaminated sites.
• Large Diameter Bored Piles Drilled and cast-in-place bored piles with diameters typically exceeding 1 meter, used for heavy-load bridge, port, and high-rise foundation applications.
• Artificial Ground Freezing Temporary ground stabilization using refrigerated brine or nitrogen to freeze groundwater and create a watertight, structurally stable excavation support for shafts and tunnels.
• Dynamic Compaction (Heavy Tamping) Soil densification by dropping heavy weights from height to improve bearing capacity of loose granular fills and uncontrolled fills prior to construction.
• Vibroflotation Vibro-compaction of granular soils using depth vibrators with horizontal vibration to densify loose sandy deposits and mitigate liquefaction risk.
• Vibroreplacement Installation of stone columns using depth vibrators to reinforce cohesive soils and improve bearing capacity and settlement performance.
• Rigid Inclusions Installation of grouted or concrete columns to transfer structural loads through compressible soils to a firm bearing stratum, reducing settlement under floor slabs and embankments.
• Deep Soil Mixing In-situ mixing of soil with cementitious binders using rotating augers to create improved soil-cement columns for foundation support and excavation support.
• Jet Grouting In-situ creation of soil-cement columns by jetting cement grout at high pressure to form cut-off walls, underpinning, and excavation support elements.
• Cement and Chemical Grouting Permeation grouting of soils and rock with cement or chemical grouts to reduce permeability, seal cracks, and stabilize foundations beneath existing structures.
• Compaction Grouting Injection of low-slump cement grout to densify loose soils and compensate for settlement beneath existing foundations and structures.
• Dynamic Replacement Combination of dynamic compaction with imported granular material to create stone columns in cohesive soils, improving bearing capacity and reducing settlement.
• Sand and Wick Drains Vertical drains installed through compressible soils to accelerate consolidation and reduce settlement times under embankments and loaded areas.
• Cased Augered/Secant Piles (CAP/CSP) Cased augered or overlapping secant pile walls constructed for earth retention and groundwater cut-off in confined urban excavations.
• Sheet Pile and Combi Walls Driven steel sheet pile or combination walls (sheet piles with king piles) used as permanent or temporary earth retention and flood-barrier systems.
• Displacement Piles (Discrepile) Displacement piles installed without spoil removal, reducing environmental impact and ground disturbance in urban and contaminated sites.
• Ground and Rock Anchors Tensioned anchors installed in soil or rock to restrain retaining walls, stabilize slopes, and resist uplift forces on structures.
