New buildings, swimming pools, silo bases, concrete beds for any type of structure.
It is common for buildings or constructions on concrete bed foundations to sink in different areas. The buildings tend to remain intact but rotate and tilt to one side or slant on one corner.
During its over ten years’ experience, Novatek has treated and resolved countless similar cases, raising the structure using foamed resins and then securing it into place with micro piles.
To prevent a building or structure built on concrete bed foundations from developing this problem, it is possible to act in advance during the construction phase by using the simple and economic PX780 pressure driven micro piles.
It is necessary to insert jackets alloyed to the reinforcement in the concrete bed. After the concrete has been cast and partially cured, the PX/80 micro piles are driven into the concrete.
The design engineer and calculator will provide indications regarding the degree of weight to offload underground, which could correspond to the weight of the entire building or it could be calculated to guarantee an even and balanced load distribution.
PX/80 micro piles are pressure driven into the ground by a hydraulic jack equipped with a gauge to individually test and certify the necessary driving pressure and the effective load bearing capacity of each micro pile.
