Frequently Asked Questions
Supportworks foundation systems include products evaluated by ICC-ES. The specific evaluation, capacities and documentation available vary by the system being specified. The Foundation Specialists can provide applicable product and technical information for the project team to review.
Commercial concrete slabs can settle when underlying soils compress, shift or wash out, or when fill wasn’t adequately compacted before construction. Repeated heavy loads and shifting site conditions can also contribute. The appropriate repair comes down to the cause and the condition of the slab and supporting soils.
A helical tieback is an earth anchor advanced into stable soil to provide lateral support. Tiebacks can stabilize retaining walls and other structures experiencing lateral movement or pressure. The required system, location and capacity depend on the structure and site conditions.
Both systems transfer structural loads to more stable soils, but they are used differently. Push piers use the weight of an existing structure as resistance during installation, making them well suited to many foundation stabilization projects. Helical piles are mechanically advanced into the soil and can be used for existing structures or new construction. The right system depends on the structure, loads, soil conditions and project requirements.
Commercial foundation repair typically involves larger structural loads, different foundation configurations, more complex site conditions and additional engineering or documentation requirements. The repair system must be selected and designed around the structure, soil conditions, loads and project requirements rather than simply the type of property.
In many cases, commercial foundation repairs can be planned to limit disruption to normal operations. Access requirements, equipment locations and how extensive the work is will determine whether areas must be temporarily restricted. The Foundation Specialists schedules installation around project and operational requirements whenever possible.
Project timelines depend on the size and complexity of the structure, repair system, number of installation locations, site access and other project requirements. Once the property has been evaluated, The Foundation Specialists will deliver a scope of work and installation schedule so your team can plan around the project.
Typical signs include foundation cracks, uneven or sloping floors, sticking doors, gaps around windows or walls, and visible settlement. Exterior concrete or slabs may also settle or pull away from the building. Since similar symptoms can have different causes, a professional evaluation can help pinpoint whether foundation movement, soil conditions or another issue is behind it.
Commercial foundation repair cost varies depending on the type and extent of settlement, building size and loads, site and soil conditions, access, and the repair system required. Since commercial projects can vary significantly, The Foundation Specialists begins with a site evaluation to determine the appropriate solution and develop a project-specific scope of work.
