Foundation Construction Made Easy

Piers, tiebacks, and augers are essential when building sturdy structures that can last for generations. However, these can be challenging to install and require extensive training to master. For pier installation services and new construction assistance, you can count on the team of Big Dog Piers.

Remodeling Demo

For a remodeling project, the contractor was asked to demo a footing where a helical pier had been installed. To remove the helical pier, over 60,000 lbs. of force combined with many labor-intensive work hours were applied to the Big Dog Top Plate to successfully extract the helical pier. Both the contractor and the client were extremely pleased with our foundation piers at Big Dog Piers.

New Construction Helical Piers

New construction helical piers are used to construct new home footings, deck support, home additions, and any structure that doesn’t have suitable soil to support the structure. A helical pier is screwed in the ground to the proper torque, and a new construction top plate is installed on top of all helical piers installed to ensure a strong foundation.

Helical Pier with Underpinning Bracket

The helical pier concept is founded on the principle of turning a screw anchor (helical) into stable subsoil until the torque applied indicates the necessary load has been achieved. Then an adjustable bracket is attached to the foundation's base connecting the helical with the foundation. At this point, the residential or commercial structure's weight is shifted to the spiral, prohibiting the structure from shifting.

Tiebacks & Wall Anchors

Helical piers can be used to restrain movement in foundation walls, retaining walls, and other structures. This is done through a hole drilled in the structure's wall, and rod threads in the helical are installed into the soil bank. A retainer plate and nut secure the rod inside the structures’ wall. This is one method used to stabilize or often straighten collapsing walls.

Helical Slab Piers

Helical slab piers stabilize damaged or uneven floors such as sinking garages, slabs, and patios.

Auger or Drill Piers

Auger or Drill Piers are holes drilled into the ground to a sufficient depth creating a hole to allow for the concrete to support new construction footings and support deck, patio, garage, slabs, and sidewalks.

What is an Auger/Drill Pier?

It is a drilled hole constructed by placing fluid concrete in to support the foundation of a structure. Depending on the engineered parameters, steel can be installed in the excavation, if desired, before placing concrete. We can install Auger/Drill Piers from 12”-36” wide.

Auger/Drill Piers not only apply to support foundations but can also be used for:

  • Garages

  • Light poles

  • Parking lots

  • Patio

  • Power poles

  • Sidewalks

  • Signs

  • Slabs

  • Support decks

  • Windmills

  • And more
