Kennesaw, Ga. - Heidelberg Systemservice now offers a new

In developing this turnkey Foundation Design package, Heidelberg Systemservice has partnered with an Atlanta-based structural engineering firm to provide complete engineering and geotechnical services involved in designing and pouring a concrete reinforced flat pad prior to the installation of heavy printing machinery on a graded soil surface.
