Push Pier Installation for a home in Nu'uanu. 3 push piers, 3 guys, easy! Push piers are used to lift foundation to an even and safe position for home. 4 easy steps to install to install a push pier system. 1. Soil is first removed to expose the foundation footing where the pier will be driven. A heavy-duty steel bracket is then installed below the footing.
2. Rugged, interlocking steel pier sections are hydraulically driven through the bracket until bedrock or stable soil is reached. The weight of the home is then transferred through the piers to this load-bearing soil.
3. Crew may attempt to lift the foundation, elevating the settled foundation back to its original position.
4. Soil can be backfilled. The structure is now permanently stabilized in its new position. Voila! All Pau!
