Underpinning & Piering
Whether caused by poor soil conditions or structural overload, foundation settlement requires deep support. Underpinning and piering transfer the load of your building to stable soil or bedrock β restoring safety and structural integrity.

When Is Underpinning or Piering Needed?
These deep foundation systems are ideal for stabilizing or lifting sinking structures:
How Underpinning & Piering Works
1. Soil Evaluation
Engineers assess the soil and structure to determine optimal pier depth and type.
2. Pier Installation
Steel piers or underpinning elements are driven to stable strata to transfer structural loads.
3. Lift & Stabilize
Once load is transferred, structures can be lifted or stabilized to their intended elevation.
Key Benefits of Piering & Underpinning
Prevents further sinking or tilting by anchoring your foundation to stable ground.
In many cases, sunken structures can be raised closer to their original elevation.
Works with residential, commercial, and infrastructure applications on all soil types.
Designed by geotechnical experts and load-tested to ensure proper performance.
