Steel Piers Pushed to Bedrock

Piering is a process used to reverse or stabilize foundation settlement.

The piering process uses steel tubes that utilize the weight of the structure to drive the piers to bedrock or other load bearing strata. The piers are spaced about 7 feet apart and are used to level or stabilize an existing foundation. Once the tubes are driven, the load of the structure is fully transferred to the pier through an underpinning bracket that is positioned underneath the footing. The structure is then stabilized and will prevent any future settlement. They can also be used to lift the structure back to as close to the original position as possible.
