During the continuous special inspection of a helical pile installation, our team and the assigned special inspector must record specific field data to verify that the as-built foundation aligns with the engineered design and IBC 2026 requirements.
We record the following specific data points during installation:
This real-time data collection allows for immediate adjustments if a pile deviates from alignment or if torque trends vary from expectations. These records are compiled into a final as-built package that serves as the permanent record for your property.

Yes, ICC-ES AC358 specifies rigorous and standardized load testing procedures to verify that helical pier systems perform as designed under field conditions. These protocols ensure that results are reliable and comparable across different projects and testing agencies.The standardized load testing…
In the Front Range, water is the primary driver of foundation failure due to the immense hydrostatic pressure it exerts on structures. This process begins when soil surrounding a foundation becomes saturated from heavy rainfall, melting snow, or poor drainage.Water-rich…

Based on the provided information, while a specific price for regular concrete is not listed, the cost for stamped concrete in the Denver area varies depending on the specific application and design complexity. You will need to talk with our…
Yes, a perimeter drain system (also known as a footing drain or French drain) is specifically designed to relieve the stress caused by hydrostatic pressure. This system acts as a subsurface drainage network that manages groundwater before it can accumulate…
