Steel Piers

"...the pier is driven through the existing problematic soils until the frictional
buildup is so great that the structure is lifted and can be supported."

Steel Pier System

Steel Pressed Piers are made of 2 3/8" & 2 7/8" steel pipes that are 12"
in length sleeved vertically. Each pier is driven to a depth of load
bearing refusal. This means that the pier is driven through the existing
problematic soils until the frictional buildup is so great that the structure
is lifted and can be supported. The Concrete Cap is positioned on top of
the welded steel cap. When the cap is in place, two additional concrete
cylinders are seated across the top. This distributes the load over a
larger area along the grade beam, greatly reducing grade beam fractures.
Metal shims are used for the final adjustment.
