CASE HISTORY #19980414-A
April 22, 1998
Project Residential Underpin Gilbert, AZ
Engineer Declined
Underpinning Contractor Azizona Helical-Piers Co. Phoenix, AZ

Job Description: This single story home located in Gilbert, Arizona experienced front and side settlement due to the area’s expansive soils. The property owners were concerned with what they believed to be the inevitable destruction of many landscaping plants. We were able to save most of them.

Repair: AHPC used 8 helical piers to stabilize outside load bearing walls. Because of front decorative retaining walls and foliage, all access holes to reach footing had to be hand dug and our remote hydraulic powered Guided Mast System was employed to do the actual pier installations.
