Foundation Design Resources
We offer these design resources to ensure that your foundation build and repairs go as smoothly as possible. This includes maximizing safety and efficiency. We take seriously the responsibility of passing on knowledge of our products and the foundation repair process.
We have put together a variety resources as a way to help ensure a knowledgeable journey through foundation repair. Our collection of design and inspection resources are available for download. All of this knowledge is at your fingertips.
In these documents you can find a variety of diagrams, illustrations, and vital information for the foundation repair process. We have literature that lays out some of the following:
- Moment design considerations
- Recommendations on geotechnical reports
- Corrosion and life expectancies
- Sizing guides for helical piles
- Information on capacities, lengths, and more
You can get all this information and so much more. Our design resources even include slideshow presentations, so you can stay involved and informed. A good starting place is our presentation on Reliability and Theory of Helical Pile Sizing. We have also put together a collection of safety guidelines and installation procedures available for download. Whether you want to know about the specifics of our Magnum Piering products or want to dive deeper into the foundations of foundation repair, this collection is there to assist.
Helical Pile and Helical Anchor Specifications
This work pertains to furnishing and installing Helical Piles, Helical Anchors, and Bracket Assemblies shown in the Contract Drawings and this specification. Each Helical Pile and Helical Anchor shall be installed at the location and to the elevation, minimum length, final installation torque, and allowable capacities shown on the Plans or as established. This work also pertains to load testing and pre-loading Helical Piles and Helical Anchors (if required on the Drawings).
This specification is based on nationally recognized codes and standards including the references listed below. In case of a conflict between the reference and this specification, this specification shall govern.
