Villa de Coronado Townhomes – Phoenix, AZ: Helical Piles Repair

Upon receiving a call from an asset manager regarding a condominium complex in Phoenix, our team conducted an inspection revealing a significant sunken section within the building. A floor elevation survey confirmed the issue.

Challenge: During the repair process, we encountered an undocumented remediation attempt dating back 50 years, complicating our efforts. This involved placing a sheet of steel into the ground and backfilling it with cement, making the repair process more intricate.

Solution: Arizona Foundation Solutions tackled the challenge by drilling through the concrete block in the ground and transferring the load to helical piles. Additional piers were installed inside the building for enhanced support, successfully restoring the unit to its original elevation.

Apache Gold Casino – Globe, AZ: Pool Restoration with Helical Piles

The original swimming pool at Apache Gold Casino faced severe soil settlement, leading to cracks and drainage issues. Prior to arranging a replacement, the compromised landscape needed immediate attention.

Challenge: The aim was to devise a deep foundation system capable of transferring the load of the new pool below layers of compressible soils to mitigate future instability. Expansive clays ruled out caissons due to potential heaving, necessitating an alternative solution.

Solution: Collaborating with project engineers, Arizona Foundation Solutions devised a deep foundation system using Helical Piles. These piles were driven to depths of 50 to 60 feet to reach solid bearing strata, with rebar attached to pile brackets for reinforcement. The resulting foundation system safeguarded against settlement issues, offering a lasting solution for the casino.
