Underpinning Contractor Azizona Helical-Piers Co. Phoenix, AZ

Job Description: This is an addition to an existing restaurant. Due to past settlement problems, it was decided to use the helical pier in new construction before the footings are poured.

Installing rebar end caps to the helical piers before tying in to cage-work and footing/stem pour. Weight load set at 20,000 (20 kips) with 1½” pier shafts. Much higher loads can be reached by using larger shafts.
