Getz - Push Pile Foundation Underpinning

Getz – Push Pile Foundation Underpinning

1950’s home in Edmonton that had evidence of foundation movement and settlement over the entire foundation. Prior repairs had been attempted by another contractor. The owner 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.
