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.

Underpinning & Piering

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

Permanent Stabilization

Prevents further sinking or tilting by anchoring your foundation to stable ground.

Potential for Lift

In many cases, sunken structures can be raised closer to their original elevation.

Versatility

Works with residential, commercial, and infrastructure applications on all soil types.

Engineered Confidence

Designed by geotechnical experts and load-tested to ensure proper performance.
