What are Commercial Resistance Piers Used For?
Settling can damage property values, destroy structures, and make buildings unsafe. Underpinning with Commercial Resistance Piers offer the most cost-effective and long-lasting solution for repair of commercial, industrial and residential buildings, and retaining structures. Resistance Piers stop settlement. Atlas structural piers can also be used to raise structures, thereby closing up cracks and rectifying other structural flaws caused by settling and/or ground movement.
Commercial Resistance Piers are used for repair of tower foundations, warehouse buildings, equipment and machinery foundations, etc. Special remedial brackets can be used to repair existing foundations by connecting them to either the side or bottom of the existing foundation, or to the sides of building columns.
Our Commercial Resistance Piers
When it comes to commercial foundation repair, the installation process is crucial to the success of the project. At Atlas Piers of Atlanta, we take pride in our innovative commercial resistance pier installation process. Our push pier system uses the weight of the structure itself to drive pipe piers into the soil, providing reliable and long-lasting support for your commercial property.
Our patented Atlas support system is specifically designed to ensure that piers are driven to the necessary depth for secure and verifiable structural support. With our experienced team of professionals and top-of-the-line equipment, you can trust Atlas Piers of Atlanta for all your commercial foundation repair needs.
Installation Process
In a two-part process, the pier pipe is driven down to a firm stratum that will properly bear the structural load. Lift equipment and a system of hydraulic manifolds with individual lifting jacks are used in combination to lift the structure (if necessary), to provide measured support strength. This system establishes the structure at the desired elevation, and it permanently stops settlement.
Load Bearing Capacity
Underpinning systems have bearing capacities ranging from 60,000 to 120,000 PSI each. Atlas piers are optimally spaced to force greater lift to the structure than required. This methodology effectively load tests individual piers prior to lifting, and it provides the measured Factor of Safety (FS) at lift, on each pier.
Workspace Required
Workspace is usually not a problem when installing ATLAS™ Resistance Piers. Portable equipment can often be used, which requires a very small square area. The piers can be installed on footing from the interior or on the exterior.
Composition of Resistance Piers
The ATLAS™ Resistance Pier is a patented two-stage pile foundation system. The unique structural support system is designed to provide appropriate strength of structural support. The system design process should involve professional engineering, specific information about the structure, foundation condition, and soil characteristics. Atlas experts evaluate and incorporate all relevant information into the final design of an optimal support system for your building. MDTI manufactures the ATLAS™ Resistance Pier for our resistance pier applications.
Advantages of the ATLAS™ Resistance Pier Foundation System
A properly installed resistance pier system can stabilize a foundation and prevent future settlement. It can restore structures virtually to their original positions prior to settling. This solution can also often close up cracks and remedy other structural defects caused by settlement. ATLAS™ Resistance Piers are selected for your application, based on load requirements, soil conditions and structural issues. Atlas offers a wide range of engineered capacities, and we manage all other specifications to fit your project requirements.
