Deep Foundations

Deep Foundation Systems in Arizona

Reliable solutions to support heavy loads and enhance foundation stability

Deep foundation systems use piers or piles to transfer a structure's weight to deeper, more stable layers of soil or bedrock. When choosing the right deep foundation system for an application, our design professionals consider a number of factors, including the soil profile, the difficulty of driving the pile, and the corrosive nature of the soil. Arizona Foundation Solutions is experienced in many types of deep foundation systems.

Types of Deep Foundation Systems

commercial push pier installation

Designed to transfer the weight of a structure onto stable soils, push piers offer long-term stability for commercial buildings.

Push Piers

Push piers are a reliable solution for stabilizing structures on unstable soils or addressing foundation settlement. These steel piers are hydraulically driven into the ground to reach load-bearing strata, transferring the structure's weight to a stable foundation. With minimal excavation and disruption, push piers are ideal for both new construction and retrofitting existing foundations. Their customizable depth and proven durability make them a trusted choice for ensuring long-term foundation stability in commercial projects.

Helical Piles

Helical piers are a versatile and cost-effective solution for deep foundation projects, especially in areas with poor surface soils or varying load requirements. These piers are long, steel shafts with helical plates that are screwed into the ground like a giant anchor. Their design allows them to bypass unstable soil and reach load-bearing layers deeper below the surface, providing reliable support for commercial structures. One of the biggest advantages of helical piers is their adaptability. They can be installed in tight spaces or areas with limited access, making them ideal for retrofitting existing structures or supporting new builds on challenging terrain.

Grouted Micropiles

Grouted micropiles are an excellent choice for deep foundations where space is limited or traditional piling methods aren't feasible. These small-diameter piles are drilled into the ground and reinforced with steel and grout, offering exceptional load-bearing capacity and stability. Their ability to be installed at various angles and with minimal vibration makes them ideal for projects near existing structures or in sensitive environments. Whether for foundation repair, retrofitting, or new construction, grouted micropiles provide reliable, long-lasting support tailored to complex site conditions.

Grouted Helical Pull-Down Piles

Grouted helical pull-down piles combine the efficiency of helical piles with the added strength of grout reinforcement, making them ideal for handling higher loads and challenging soil conditions. These piles are installed by screwing helical plates into the ground while filling the surrounding void with high-strength grout to create a durable and stable foundation. With a minimally disruptive installation process, grouted helical pull-down piles are a cost-effective and reliable solution for new construction and foundation retrofits in commercial applications.

Compaction Grouting

Commercial grouting reduces foundation settlement, mitigates sinkholse, and more.

Compaction Grouting

Compaction grouting (a type of pressure grouting) is a soil stabilization method that involves injecting a stiff grout mixture into weak or loose soils under high pressure. This process compacts and densifies the surrounding soil, enhancing its load-bearing capacity and reducing the risk of settlement or foundation issues. Ideal for foundation repair, ground improvement, and sinkhole mitigation, compaction grouting is a versatile and minimally disruptive solution that ensures long-term stability for commercial deep foundation projects.

Stem Wall Repair

Stem wall repair is vital for maintaining structural integrity and addressing issues like cracks, spalling, or sinking caused by moisture, soil movement, or age. For sinking stem walls, foundation piers such as push piers or helical piers are used to transfer the structure's load to stable soil or bedrock, lifting and stabilizing the foundation. Additional repairs include sealing and reinforcing cracked or damaged concrete to ensure long-term durability and protection against future deterioration.

Crawl Space Supports

Support jacks offer supplemental support for sagging crawl spaces.

Crawl Space Structural Support

To stabilize and reinforce compromised crawl spaces, deep foundation solutions such as push piers, helical piers, or crawl space jacks are used. Pier systems provide reliable support by transferring the weight of the structure to deeper, more stable soil or bedrock, ensuring long-term stability. Adjustable steel crawl space jacks can be installed to correct sagging floors and provide supplemental support to weakened beams or joists. With advanced techniques and durable materials, our crawl space structural support solutions protect your building from further damage, preserving its safety and integrity for years to come.
