Before
When external pressure on your foundation walls exceeds their capacity to resist it, they will begin to bow in the middle, tilt in along the top, and/or slide in along the bottom.
Before
Initial vertical excavation of about 3 to 5 feet deep depending upon design parameters and soil conditions.
During
First, a small hole is cored through your foundation or retaining wall.
During
Installation of the first row of helical soil nails to the required inclination angle, torque and embedment length.
During
Outside view of Helical Anchors being screwed into the soil.
During
Galvanized steel helical anchors are mechanically screwed out through your foundation or retaining wall into the soil while being carefully monitored to achieve capacity.
During
Once appropriate distances and capacities are reached, a low-profile wall plate is then secured to the foundation or retaining wall. Once all components are connected and tightened, your foundation or retaining wall is permanently stabilized.
