Moore & Taber is a ground improvement contractor, specializing in compaction grouting, remedial soil stabilization and a variety of other geotechnical construction methods.  Adaptation to limited-access work environments often requires an innovative approach.  At Moore & Taber, we take great pride in rising to challenges posed by such constraints.

Moore & Taber is a name that has been associated with the geotechnical engineering community since 1954, when the firm was founded by R. F. Moore and H. R. Taber in response to a growing need for geotechnical consulting services in the rapidly developing West Coast region. In 2004, Moore & Taber proudly celebrated its 50th birthday.

Ground improvement technology and Moore & Taber have evolved considerably since Moore & Taber began offering its compaction grouting services 1972, and many new options have become available. Moore & Taber ceased in its role as a geotechnical consultant in the late 1990’s in order to become dedicated fully in its role as a ground improvement contractor.

Photo (above):  Compaction Grouting for Highway Rehabilitation:  Moore & Taber has recently completed a highway rehabilitation project in Southern California, where compaction grouting techniques are being used to treat potentially-compressible backfill soils for a number of freeway bridge abutments.  Grouting work was primarily conducted at night, since much of the remedial effort is staged from otherwise active traffic lanes.  Compaction grouting was but one element of a larger overall highway improvement project.

Practical Handbook of Grouting: Soil Rock and Structures - Jim Warner's landmark text on grouting is now available for purchase from Wiley publishers. Heralded as the first complete handbook for every aspect of grouting technology, Warner's text provides insight to a wide range of grouting technology issues.  Broad coverage in the Practical Handbook of Grouting begins with a general overview of the topic and includes design and quality control issues, injection techniques, and a thorough discussion of drilling and grouting equipment, with practical focus on building custom equipment.  Publisher Link
