Pre-Construction Piers

  • Under Footing, Concentrically Loaded, Dynamically Driven, Rock Penetrating Foundation Support
    • Installed as a part of foundation construction
    • Becomes a part of the Grade Beam Foundation System
    • Penetrates poor soils to provide bearing on underlying sound rock
    • Penetrates weathered rock and mud seams to prevent differential settling attributable to compression of saturated and confined clay mud seams, forcing migration of water and allowing differential settling.
