Fontaine - Push Pile Foundation Underpinning

Fontaine – Push Pile Foundation Underpinning

Two story 1940’s home in Millcreek Ravine with walkout end in Edmonton that had evidence of foundation movement and settlement over a portion of the walkout end of the foundation. The owner was selling the property and needed to have the foundation stabilized. We assessed the pattern of settlement and put together an Engineered Plan for Underpinning Remediation using our Proprietary Steel Pipe Push Pile Technology.
