Underpinning and New Construction Piers 1

[FoundationRepairGuy]

Where can I find information about foundation underpinning that uses those steel helical or auger type piers?

Have you thought of a search of the net??? (e.g., rediff.com; MSN.com; Google.com, etc.). I many times will poick a subject at random when the night is slow and do a search - amazing what kind of information you can get. It doesn't take much time. There was an amazing report when I did a search of geopiers.

The two major manufacterers are Chance anchors and Atlas Systems. I don't have the web addresses handy but they both have a lot of information on their websites.

I typed "helical pier foundations" and got "far to many websites" of the various installers. But, a couple had some nice manuals - check out one site below:

FoundationRepairGuy,

It seems like you should already know where to find the requested information, especially since your own firm, Ram Jack, installs these helical piers.

If you need more information, call:
