Helical Pile SystemThe Supportworks' Helical Pile System is an extremely versatile new construction deep foundation alternative, used within grade beams supporting heavy commercial and industrial columns and wall loads. Helical piles can also permanently stabilize sinking or settling foundations. The piles are mechanically screwed into the ground and L-shaped steel foundation brackets are connected to the tops.

Helical Anchor/TiebacksSupportworks' Helical Anchors (also referred to as tiebacks) provide lateral stability to foundation walls and retaining walls with unbalanced earth pressures. Helical anchors can be installed with hand-held equipment, mini-excavators, skid steers, backhoes, trackhoes, or crane-supported rigs so the anchors can be installed in almost any application.

Push Pier SystemSupportworks' Push Pier System uses rugged steel pier sections, driven deep into the earth's soil, to transfer the weight of a structure onto competent, load-bearing strata or bedrock. Not only does this foundation piling permanently stabilize the structure's foundation, it also provides the best opportunity to lift the structure back to its original, level position.

SmartJacks — Crawl Space JacksThe Supportworks' SmartJack® rests on a solid concrete base which is placed on engineered fill. An adjustable, heavy-duty steel column is secured to both the concrete base and to the bottom of the beam or joists above. The unique adjustment ability of the SmartJack® allows it to support the load above. In many cases it can lift the floors and walls back to level, restoring integrity to a living area.
