Decks, Solariums, Shed - Innovative Pier Solutions

case study 1

Local High School needed a deck installed out over a pond for a future outdoor classroom.
Innovative Pier Solutions installed 4 Helical Piers at a depth of 14′ and a torque rating that will hold 20,000 pounds per pier.
We capped off the piers with a custom-made cap where the customer can run double 2 x 12 and be ready to build the future deck immediately.
Even in a pond we can drill down for a deck support and have the customer ready to build that deck in a day.
No mess, no concrete and guaranteed support for the deck.

Customer had a difficult site in the woods but wanted a utility shed out of site.
Minimal access to site, no problem for Innovative Piers
Achieved desired torque within 14 Ft.
Installed 4 Helical Piers with Saddle Brackets placed on top of Helical Pier
Immediately ready for shed to be placed
Quick, easy and ready to go within 3 hours of arriving on site.

Customer was concerned that the sonotube that was placed would settle over time and not support the steel beam walkway from the main house to the dune.
Innovative Pier solutions was contacted to access load bearing and find a solution to enhance the existing sonotube to insure that it would support the steel beam walkway.
We installed a 8″- 10″-12″ Helix Pier next to the existing sonotube.
We drilled the Helix down 14′ – 21′ to achieve a desired torque rating to help partially bear the weight of the walkway.
We then put a new construction cap on top of the pier.
We drilled reinforcing rod with epoxy into existing sonotube.
Our Helical Pier was directly under the reinforced rod cage.
We added a new sonotube on the side of existing and filled it with concrete to help redistribute partial weight of the walkway to our Helical Pier.
Customer was able to rest assured that settling would not be an issue for the walkway and continue construction.

Customer wanted to build multiple cabins in the woods for a local campground.
The site would be a challenge for any other type of foundation.
Installing Helical Piers was a logical option.
They contacted Innovative Piers with specific specs and bearing loads that were needed.
They accepted our bid and we proceeded to order the piers and get them scheduled.
We installed 11 piers per building at a determined elevation that was set by the builder.
All piers were installed per the required loads that were needed for bearing.
No excavation /soil disruption was needed and we were able to install 3 buildings with 11 piers each in one day.
We installed an 8 X 8 New Construction cap on top of our piers so they would be able to set their steel beams directly on top.
The customer was able to start construction of the cabins the next day.
We were able to give the customer a discount for doing multiple cabins at one time.

Customer had a difficult site overlooking a small creek where he wanted to add on to an existing deck.
The ground was quite spongy and unable to bear the weight of the deck building it in a standard way.
They contacted Innovative Pier Solutions to meet and determine a solution.
We decided to install 8″ X 10″ Helix Leads to a depth needed to achieve the required torque.
The Majority of the 13 Piers that were needed had to go to a depth of 14′ to achieve the needed torque.
We capped off the piers with a custom saddle bracket to accommodate the posts he needed.
All Piers were installed in less than one day and were immediately loadable.
Builder was able to start installing the deck the next day.
Eco Friendly installation with no excavating or concrete needed.

Customer Contacted Innovative Piers in need of support for a Pergola in the backyard:
It was a very tight sight with limited access.
It had to be installed in an existing patio to eliminate having to tear up the patio.
It had to be installed to a depth that would support the Perola Structure.
Helical Piers were the perfect option with the existing conditions.
Two circular holes were drilled in the patio in order to install the piers.
Innovative Piers installed Two Helical Piers with 8″ X 10″ leads.
Required torque was achieved at 14 ft.
Drilling the piers we had very little torque until we reached the 12 ft. mark. Digging down and installing a concrete pier would not be practical because of the depth and the location of the piers that were needed to support the Pergola.
The builder was planning on pouring on top of our pier so we installed a 6″ X 6″ flat cap for support.
Innovative Pier Solutions arrived on site, installed the piers and left very little yard damage, all within 3 hours.
The piers were immediately loadable and eco friendly.

Customer contacted Innovative Piers for a lakefront home that they wanted to add an addition too.
Jobsite was tight with limited access.
The Builder could not dig down for a typical concrete frost wall due to water level.
The Builder also wanted an eco-friendly solution without having to dig down, pump out water and pour a concrete column.
Builder contacted Innovative Piers to install Helical Piers for support. They told us the weight of the addition so we could install our piers to the proper torque.
We installed 4 Helical Piers with saddle brackets.
The Piers were immediately loadable and very little yard damage was done.
Total time on the jobsite was 3 hours.
Fast and efficient solution to a lakeside project.
