Unlocking Deep Foundation Design Excellence with DeepFND

Have you ever found deep foundation design to be more complex and challenging than what textbooks suggest? The reality of determining geotechnical pile capacity involves an artful balance of various methods. Beyond just skin friction and end bearing estimations, the complexity deepens with lateral pile capacity determinations and structural calculations. The landscape of design codes further complicates matters, from AASHTO LRFD and Eurocode 7 to Australian Standards. As a result, valuable time might be consumed navigating different methodologies instead of focusing on delivering effective solutions.


That's precisely why DeepFND was conceived – a potent, user-centric software born from the minds of expert engineers. Developed with the intent to streamline deep foundation design and mitigate risks, DeepFND isn't just a marketing pitch. We're engineers driven by expertise and a genuine passion to bolster your success.


Q1: What pile types can I design with your software?


A: The capabilities of DeepFND extend across an extensive spectrum of pile types. Whether it's drilled, driven, cast, or helical piles, DeepFND's versatility empowers you to tackle diverse projects without limitations.
