Steel piers installed around east half of office building facing eroding creek embankment. Piers pressed to bedrock or refusal at 10,000 psi.
3 plumbing breaks located under slab and tunneled and repaired for soil stability.
A 2″ gap between foundation and soil was created as a result of the building lift. Mudjacking is a process of grout injection under pressure to void fill for uniform support.
Cardinal Foundation Services completed a structural stabilization project for an office building situated adjacent to a creek embankment experiencing active erosion. To reinforce the compromised foundation, steel piers were installed along the east side of the structure and driven to bedrock or refusal at 10,000 PSI, ensuring deep, stable support.
During excavation, three plumbing breaks were discovered beneath the slab, which were tunneled and repaired to restore proper drainage and enhance soil stability.
Following the building lift, a 2-inch void formed between the foundation and underlying soil, which was pressure-filled using mudjacking grout injection to create a uniform and fully supported base. This comprehensive approach provided long-term protection against soil movement and water-related settlement.
