Support for concrete foundations

Techno Metal Posts are installed underneath the structure to support the loads of your structure. They are screwed into the ground and secured to the reinforcement before the concrete is poured. During installation, the bearing capacity of each pier is known in real time. The screwed piers are installed at a depth defined by the engineering department in order to take the loads of the structure and ensure that their minimum bearing capacities are reached. This technique ensures the stability of a construction in the case where the soil has a low bearing capacity, for example.

A plate is welded on each pier and secured to the reinforcement. We offer different types of plates as standard. We can also adapt them to your needs.

Techno Metal Posts are installed underneath the structure to take up the forces of the sill. The positioning of each pier is determined by the engineering department according to the load bearing capacity. The pier will be screwed into the ground until the determined bearing capacity is obtained. The reinforcement will be attached to the support plate welded to the pier. The concrete can then be poured normally.

In the case of prefabricated stringers, the piers are placed between each stringer. The screwing torque of each pier is determined according to the forces of the sill to be supported. All calculations from the load descriptions are made by the engineering department. Each pier will be equipped with a plate welded with concrete reinforcing bars to support the sills.

Techno Metal Post's engineering department is responsible for the analysis and validation of your projects. When helical piers are specified as the foundation for a project, Techno Metal Post's engineers will determine the type of piers to be installed based on the loads to be supported and the soil characteristics. The engineer can issue a certificate of compliance and guarantee the work in accordance with current standards.
