Preconstruction Piers

Pre-Construction Helical Piers or Micropiles

Pre-construction piers help increase the value of a new home or building by installing them during construction, preventing downward settlement or heaving before it starts. By monitoring hydraulic pressure, piers are load tested as they are installed. Pre-construction piers are easy and cost-effective to install. The capacity of each pile is accurately measured using installation torque and can be installed under any weather condition. Helical piers are a good option when an addition to an existing structure is desired. The field work for a typical house can be done in 1-2 days.

When building your new home, castle, commercial build or whatever you have in mind, we highly recommend that you take the time and spend the money to have a Geotechnical Engineering report completed for your building site. We will be more than happy to provide you a list of Geotechnical Engineers that will be able to meet your needs.

Please take the advice of a foundation repair contractor, it will be well worth your investment.
