The Exterior Piering Process
URETEK FOUNDATION REPAIRS – Many home foundation have exterior load bearing beam settlement issues requiring correction. Uretek ICR South Texas uses the pressed pile system of foundation repair to correct and level exterior foundation beams. We space our pressed pilings on 6′ centers to achieve the maximum amount of support necessary to carry the load of the weighted structure, once the load bearing beam is lifted. The engineer that designed this system feels that this 6′ spacing distributes the weight more evenly and provides a better long-term solution.
TO INSTALL EXTERIOR PILINGS – Our professional Uretek crew will mark off the location of each proposed piling. The plants are removed from the immediate area and out of the way. A sheet of plywood is also placed near the hole to be dug and any soil excavated from the hole is placed on the plywood sheet. After the area adjacent to the exterior grade beam is cleared, a hole is dug approximately 3′ x 3′ wide to gain clearance under the beam, and 4′ deep to allow placement of the hydraulic jack used to force the concrete sections into the ground. The piling segments are 12′′ long and 6′′ in diameter and made of 7000 psi concrete. They are placed one on top of the other and forced down into the ground until they meet the point of refusal. Once the pilings cannot be driven any further, a gauge on the jack determines how many pounds per square inch is being applied to the pilings, and if that measurement is sufficient, the piling drive is complete.
