The amazement of what push piers can do in Burlington, Vermont

Push Piers are made of steel and are driven very far into the ground until it hits stable soil or bedrock.  The push piers on this job were used in both the interior and exterior of the building to lift it back to the original position.  The team removed soil from around the exterior walls then used a heavy-duty steel bracket that is installed below and against the building foundation's footing.  Next, steel piers are driven hydraulically through the bracket into the stable soil.  The weight of the building is transferred through the piers to competent soil.  Then our team lifted the building back to a level state, backfilled the soil, and now the building is permanently stabilized.
