Larry Applegate, President, is a national authority on the practical applications of soil freezing and the construction of soil freeze systems. He holds a degree in Construction Management from Washington State University and has over 25 years of experience in heavy civil construction. Larry’s expertise in soil freeze shoring comes from years of training with the company’s founder, Ron Krieg, and working closely with industry-leading engineers. He has a wealth of on-site experience and has managed numerous successful projects. His practical approach in applying soil freezing solutions has allowed his clients to complete a wide range of projects economically and expeditiously.

Daniel W. Mageau, P.E., Vice President and Design Engineer, is a geotechnical engineer with over 35 years of practical experience with a wide range of civil projects, including foundations for buildings, bridges, port facilities and utilities, and most conventional shoring systems. He has also developed a specialized expertise in ground freezing and has designed all of the projects completed by SoilFreeze since 1997. Dan obtained his Masters degree in frozen soil and worked in Alaska for years prior to working with SoilFreeze. He uses the latest in finite element modeling to analyze thermal and structural performance of frozen soil shoring. Dan is also a very practical engineer and brings his vast experience on soil and groundwater projects to each ground freezing job. He has written numerous articles on ground freezing, including a chapter on the subject for the ASCE Technical Council on Cold Regions Engineering Monograph, "Thermal Analysis, Construction, and Monitoring Methods for Frozen Ground."
