INSTALLATION OF PUSH PIERS ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER IN ORDER TO STABILIZE THE FOUNDATION FROM FURTHER SETTLEMENT. WE HAVE DETERMINED THAT IN ORDER TO STABILIZE THE FOUNDATION, WE WOULD NEED TO INSTALL SIX (6) PUSH PIERS. TWO (2) OF THESE WOULD BE ON THE WEST WALL AND THE REMAINING FOUR (4) WILL BE ON THE NORTH WALL.THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY EXPOSING THE FOOTING OF THE FOUNDATION AND INSTALLING LOW-PROFILE BRACKETS. THE PIERS WILL BE HYDRAULICALLY PRESSED INTO THE GROUND THROUGH THESE BRACKETS TO A MINIMUM PRESSURE OF 3,430 PSI. ONCE EACH INDIVIDUAL PIER HAS REACHED PRESSURE, WE WILL TRANSFER THE WEIGHT OF THE FOUNDATION ONTO THE PIERS, STABILIZING AGAINST FURTHER MOVEMENT.
