Underpinning Foundation Repair
Old foundations that are poorly supported can crack or shift, causing the structure they support to fail. Screw pilings can be used to repair failing foundations through a process known as underpinning. Underpinning is a specialized foundation repair process where helical piles are installed to support an existing structural foundation that is no longer supported because the ground that supports the foundation has given way due to erosion or thermal shifting. Structural loads are transferred by the screw pile to solid ground to support the failing foundation.
Engineered Foundation Designs
Most construction projects in the City of Calgary need structural engineering for the structure being built and the foundation that supports that structure. Architectural and engineered structural designs are required for approval during the permitting and inspection process. Engineers that are unfamiliar with helical pier foundations, can sometimes get it wrong. This adds an exceptionally high cost to a project that isn’t necessary.
Fortunately, the Calgary Screw Pile Pros can help. The Screw Pile Pros will work with you to understand the needs of your building project. Our engineering team, which has experience in screw pile foundation designs, will design an optimal foundation design for your project. Choosing the Calgary Screw Pile Pros to provide the engineered foundation design for your next project will save you time and money while maintaining building code compliance.
