The company approaches foundation jobs with the utmost in service and expertise. First, Colorado Structural prepares a repair plan, taking into account many factors like the soil types on the work site, the damage sustained to the home or building, and the weight being supported by existing foundation elements.   Next, the location, size, and number of helical piles will be calculated for the repair.  The piles and support brackets must be spaced at appropriate intervals in order to support the weight load of the home and the soil conditions on site.

Once the helical piles are inserted using a high-torque drive head, they are connected to steel support brackets notched into the base of the foundation wall.  The building’s weight is then transferred to the helical pile support system with a method of hydraulic jacking and adjustments to the support brackets.  The excavated areas around the foundation are carefully backfilled, and the job is complete.  The end result is a foundation that is supported in a way that is vastly superior to other methods, eliminating the settling and shifting that can cause damage.

A building’s foundation is the most important aspect of construction, whether it is a new home, a business, or an existing structure in need of repair. Everything rests on the foundation, which must be stable enough to support tremendous loads for the life of the structure.  The innovative helical pile foundation system developed by A.B. Chance is the ideal way to create rock-solid support for this crucial component of any building.  Start a construction project on the right foot by using Colorado Structural Systems’ expertise in stabilizing foundations using the construction industry’s best method for long-lasting structural support.

Because the helical pile system does not require extensive digging, it is safe and effective to use around damaged foundations and unstable structures, making it the smart choice for repairs that restore the strength and support the foundation walls must have in order to carry the building’s load.  Colorado Structural has years of experience in both new construction and repair of foundations, helping them to maintain the reputation of quality installation and customer service they’ve worked hard for.  Call Colorado Structural Systems today to learn more about our foundation services for your next new construction or foundation repair project.
