Helix Pier Underpinning Applications

Dixie Piers have been used to
stabilize and/or re-level
residential and commercial
structures that have undergone
differential movement
resulting from the influence of
problem soils and/or home
maintenance. Foundation
movement can be caused by
highly expansive clay,
improperly compacted fill
material, degradation of
organic subgrade material and
improper grading and/or watering along the perimeter
of the foundations. Whatever
the cause of the distress,
foundation movement can
significantly devalue a home,
create livability concerns for
the occupants and may render
the home structurally unsafe.
Dixie Piers have been proven
to restore the load-bearing
function of distressed
foundations and re-level
severely damaged foundations
to nearly as-built conditions.

A helix pier is a cost saving
alternative for foundation
support or tieback applications.

Helix piers are engineered, tested and have a
proven performance record.
