When starting a new construction project, builders may encounter poor soil conditions around the building site.

Installing new construction piers you can transfer the load of the home to much deeper, stable soils.
ECP products have been used in new construction projects quite frequently. They are drilled into the ground until they reach stable soils down below the foundation. Torque anchors are part of the family of helical piers. These anchors have a shaft and are welded to this shaft is a helical plate. This increases the diameter of the pier and this adds to the strength as well as the stability of the pier itself. These piers are excellent for new construction projects, and also for existing homes and businesses that experience foundation settlement and sinking. They are easy to install without causing much disruption to the land around your home or business. So many construction projects are completed on soil that is not compacted properly.
