Underpinning System Process: Excavators & Efficiency
The deeper our foundation heroes dig, the harder it gets, so we get to the point where shovels cannot do the job, so we used heavy machinery as excavators to finish the work fast and efficiently.
Underpinning System Process: How Deep is enough?
Another question that our foundation heroes get asked very frequently is, how deep are you going to dig? Well, every answer differs from the last one, and the reason is that every house is different, and every location of a house has different natural factors which lead to different necessities.
Underpinning System Process: Distance is Key
The distance between each pier is very important because depending on how closed or far away each pier is from one another, the area of support that they provide changes.
Underpinning System Process: Perfect Angle
When installing a pier, our home heroes need to be very careful because if the pier is getting drilled at the wrong angle t may not provide the expected support to the house's foundation as it should.
Underpinning System Process: Location & Necessities
The location of each pier is crucial; that is why our engineering department is in charge of locating the piers where each of them will provide the right support.
Underpinning System Process: Unpredictable Obstacles
When digging our foundation professionals need to be very careful because they might encounter some obstacles and challenges that can prevent them from completing the job as expected. Sometimes there might be plumbing pipes, huge ricks, or even very old tree roots.
Underpinning System Process: Last Assessment
Right before permanently attaching each pier with its assigned bracket, our foundation heroes need to complete the last assessment to determine if it is wise to lift the house's foundation back to its original position.
After Underpinning Installation
As seen in this picture, it looks like nothing happened, but in reality, the house's foundation is finally stable and will stay like that for a long time.
