Installed 2 Push Piles to stabilize portion of load-bearing wall
Advantages of Push Piers
- Typically installed with light-weight portable hydraulic equipment that is very maneuverable.
- Generate no spoils, minimizing site cleanup.
- Insullated with relatively quiet equipment that produces minimal impact or vibration, making them particularly suitable for construction next to occupied structures.
- Used in compressive loads.
- The axial resistance encountered during installation of a push pier is a direct measure of the pier's ultimate axial compression capacity.
- Most push pier installations come with a lifetime transferrable warranty.
Push Pier Placement
- Never spaced more than 8’ on-center on residential.
- Typically placed under masonry piers on pier and curtain construction.
- Typically spaced at 6’ on-center with slab and masonry wall foundations.
- Not utilized for light weight structures such as porches or bays.
