Techno Metal Post Helical Foundation System Earns ICC-ES Evaluation Report (See ESR #3418)

Techno Metal Post Helical Pile Foundations, manufactured by TECHNO-PIEUX INC, recently received an evaluation report (ESR#3418) from the ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES).

The records provide solid evidence that the items listed below, meet code requirements:

• Helical piles 3 1⁄2” pipe- model P3-8, P3-10 and P3-12
• Bracket models PC5, PC6, PC8, PU4, PU5, PU4B, PU5B, PSC6, PSC8, PIB6 and PIB8.

Municipal officials, architects, contractors, designers and others who use the ICC-ES, now have access to the technical data for the use or approval of the TMP foundation system (under the International Building Code-IBC).

ICC-ES President Shahin Moinian, explains why ICC-ES reports are so important- “TECHNO-PIEUX INC can now reference the evaluation report to assure municipal officials and the construction industry, that the product meets I-Code requirements.  Municipal departments that issue building permits, have a long history of using ICC-ES evaluation reports.  They recognize ICC-ES as a technical resource, providing the highest quality review of building products.  Final approval of construction products, however, sits in the hands of the local regulations department”.

ICC-ES thoroughly examined TECHNO-PIEUX INC’s product information documents, trial reports, calculations, quality control methods and other factors to ensure the product was code-compliant.

“Our Company is committed to providing high-quality products that satisfy standardized testing and the certification process, while also providing excellent customer service”, says Pascal Marceau, Senior Engineer for TECHNO-PIEUX INC. The Company has a network of 106 independent dealers-installers spread in the United States, Canada, France, Belgium, Switzerland and Spain.
