SERVICES

Asset Recovery Foundation Systems, Inc. is a design-build firm. We are pleased to be your single source for foundation and settlement issues—from design to installation.

All stabilization processes and remediation procedures for new and failing foundations are preceded by comprehensive testing by geotechnical engineers to determine soil composition, limestone depth, etc. Based on their findings, Asset Recovery Foundation Systems determines the most appropriate stabilization technique for your application.

COMPACTION GROUTING

Compaction grouting is a preferred method for the remediation of sinkholes and the consolidation of loosely compacted soils. There are two basic components of the compaction grouting process: casing installation and grout pumping. Before either process begins, Asset Recovery locates any underground utilities, sprinkler systems or other obstructions.

Asset Recovery Foundation Systems utilizes a twin cylinder displacement pump that typically pumps at 250-300 psi for the grout pumping phase of the process. As the grout is being pumped into the ground, our team closely monitors the structure and surrounding buildings for any movement. Our goal is to consolidate the subsurface soils and fill in void zones thereby sealing off openings into underlying cavernous bedrock zones and prevent further downward migration of soil particles.

Compaction grouting is used for pre-treatment of new construction sites as well as remediation of existing structures. Compaction Grouting may be used in conjunction with Resistance Piers or Helical Piers (discussed below).

MICRO PILES

Resistance or helical piers may be the method of choice to resolve your foundation or settlement problem. The piers, or micro piles, may be used alone or in combination with the compaction grouting process. (The soil conditions, degree of settlement and other factors will determine the appropriate application.) Micro piles prevent further sinking of your structure and are also used for uplift resistance to hold down the foundation. Asset Recovery Foundation Systems is proud to be a certified installer of Atlas Systems and Chance® pier systems.

RESISTANCE PIERS

Resistance piers are attached directly to the base of your existing foundation. They are the pier system of choice where a firm bearing stratum is present and for heavier structures. In some cases they also restore the structure to its original, level position. Using portable equipment, the resistance piers are hydraulically driven to limestone or a measured design-load strength.

HELICAL PIERS

Helical piers are ideal for new construction and are widely considered the best support systems for foundations in wet areas, environmentally sensitive areas or areas with fill or spoil materials. Helical piers also provide an excellent remedial solution to support and restore settling basement and porch columns, interior concrete slab floors, garage floors, porches and patios. Helical piers may be installed in conjunction with resistance piers and they are fully compliant with FEMA regulations regarding the Coastal Construction Control Line.
