Foundation Engineering ConsultantsFoundation Engineering Consultants, Inc
Mr. Affi is the founder of Foundation Engineering Consultants, Inc., in the state of California. He specializes in excavation support analysis, drilled pier foundations and sub-structural engineering software. Mr. Affi is a licensed civil engineer in California and has authored three books. He was recently awarded a U.S. patent in a new method of supporting lightly-loaded foundations and pavements on highly-expansive soils. Mr. Affi is very interested in filling the practice gap between geotechnical and structural engineers when it comes to foundations and earth retaining structures.
