Case Study - Push Piers for Commercial Foundation Repair
Push Piers (Commercial)
- Project: Unitarian Church of Grand Valley
- Location: Grand Junction, Colorado
- Date: January, 2010
Condition:
This structure was originally built on "pit-run" a gravel material normally adequate for structural support, however, the building with a slab foundation had developed a void under it's footing. This void caused settlement adjacent to a basement utility.
Corrective Measures:
Foundation Repair of Western Colorado Foundation Repair of Western Colorado LLC installed four Foundation Supportworks™ Push Piers to lift and stabilize the foundation to prevent further vertical settlement.
Results:
Installation of Push Piers has lifted the foundation back to a level position and stopped movement. The owner can now rely on effective normal maintenance. Unsightly cracks will now be a thing of the past.
