Foundation Repair and Augmentation Systems for Residential, Commercial and Industrial Applications.

For stabilizing/lifting foundations or retrofitting to increase load capacity, CHANCE® steel piers are installed at intervals around the perimeter at affected locations. Independent of the structure, the piers are extended to depths which attain the installing torque correlated to the required load bearing capacity.

 

Special brackets are located where needed around the perimeter and secured to the concrete foundation. Then a steel pier is torqued into the soil through each bracket.

The brackets permit lifting by hydraulic jacks. Tightening the nuts on the bracket vertical bolts locks off the load.
