Resistance piers, also known as push piers, are a type of foundation support system used to stabilize and lift, settled or sinking foundations.
Resistance piers are effective in addressing foundation settlement caused by factors such as soil shrinkage, soil consolidation, or poor compaction during construction. They are versatile and suitable for various soil types, making them a solid choice for foundation repair and stabilization pr ojects.materials.
INSTALLATION
Resistance piers are hydraulically driven or mechanically screwed into the ground beneath the foundation until they reach load-bearing soil or bedrock. This depth is crucial to ensure the piers can provide sufficient support.
LOAD TRANSFER
Resistance piers are hydraulically driven or mechanically screwed into the ground beneath the foundation until they reach load-bearing soil or bedrock. This depth is crucial to ensure the piers can provide sufficient support.
LIFT AND STABALIZATION
Once the piers are in place, they can be used to lift and stabilize the foundation. Hydraulic jacks or other lifting mechanisms are employed to raise the foundation to its original level or a desired elevation.
The products we install are code compliant with independent ICC-ES Reports (International Code Council Evaluation Service) These provide the verified load capacities of the product. We then calculate the weight and resistance loads of the structure and design a system which will lift and restore your property to its original level condition.
