What Is Underpinning & Lifting with Screw Piles?
Underpinning with screw piles strengthens or repositions an existing foundation by transferring loads to deep, stable soil layers. Using hydraulically installed helical piles connected to custom brackets, our team can stabilize or raise structures that have settled due to poor soil conditions, frost heave, or long-term movement.
We identify movement patterns, settlement depth, and load requirements through inspection and torque analysis.
[03]
Excavation & Bracket Access
Minimal excavation exposes key footing points while maintaining full structural stability.
[05]
Structural Lifting
Adjustable hydraulic brackets apply gradual, uniform lift—safely releveling the foundation to its original position.
[02]
Engineering Design
Our engineers develop a custom underpinning plan using torque-specified screw piles to ensure precise load transfer and lifting control.
[04]
Pile Installation
Helical piles are hydraulically advanced to stable strata and torque-tested to verify capacity before lifting begins.
[06]
Final Load Transfer & Verification
The building’s weight is permanently transferred to the new helical pile system, ensuring long-term support and stability.
Why Choose Screw Pile Underpinning?
Unlike traditional concrete or grout-based repairs, helical pile underpinning offers a controlled, measurable, and permanent solution for foundation movement.
