Sinkhole Remediation and Grout Repair

ORLANDO, Fla. - Feb. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- This method is used to fill the voids in the ground around and under your dwelling, providing foundation reinforcement.

How Does Compaction Grouting Provide Soil Stabilization?
The main purpose of compaction grouting is to increase the load the soil can bear by adding material to the lower soil layers. To do this, we utilize a limited access drill (which can fit through a 36” door opening) to drill to the adequate depth. Next, a thick cement/grout mixture is pumped into the ground under high pressure using a Schwing 500 grout pump and steel casing. We are capable of achieving 800 psi maximum and pump to a depth of 200 vertical feet. The soils are compacted as the cement/grout mixture penetrates the soil. The thick cement mixture is formulated to remain tight within the soil and fill any voids. The grout seals off the top of the limestone layer first. As the casings are removed section by section, the compaction grout increases soil density layer by layer. Finally, the casings are removed from the ground, loaded back onto the trailer and removed from the repaired property.

Our Tampa foundation repair company uses a custom-made Boxer drill rig with rubber tracks that can fit through a 36” door opening.
We use Schwing 500 grout pumps for compaction grouting.
Our crews put down plywood to protect the customer’s grass while the drill rig is moved around.
Our consistent attention to detail is why customers choose Ram Jack.

Florida Foundation Repair
If you have noticed cracks, uneven floors, or doors that jam in your house, you might be witnessing signs that your foundation is settling.

Why Do Homes Settle?
The most common reasons for houses settling are the drying, shifting and shrinking of soil due to HVAC systems or improperly backfilled soil during construction. Extreme weather, such as flooding or drought, can also provoke foundation failure. However, given enough time, all houses eventually settle. Regardless of the cause of settling, it is a problem that can result in significant damage.

How Do Pier Systems Help With Soil Stabilization?
Steel piers, also known as point bearing piers, are designed to rest on load-bearing strata or rock. Because they do not rely on soil, steel piers provide a very stable foundation support system.

Our pier system stabilizes your home’s foundation without the time and expense of a complete foundation replacement. Ram Jack steel piers are driven into bedrock, correcting foundation trouble.

Quality Pier Systems Driving Heads
The Ram Jack® driving head delivers rapid power to long sections of piling for a faster installation and a stronger pier.
Hydraulic Rams
We have over 70,000 lbs. of driving force available to deliver to the Ram Jack® pier column.
Bracket
The Ram Jack® bracket has been tested in excess of 100,000 lbs. of force.
Guide Sleeve
The extended guide sleeve loads the piling vertically and rifles the piling as it advances through unknown strata.
Steel Pier
The Ram Jack® steel pier material has been tested and specifically selected for its unusually high-quality resistance to bending and buckling. Tensile tests an average 150,000 lbs.
Pier Connector
The 12-inch pier connector is composed of a smaller diameter section of the same premium tubing and is crimped into one end of each pier section. The connector is a slip joint into the next pier system.
Expansion Ring
This ring expands the soil away from the piling to reduce friction during the driving process for maximum penetration through unstable soil.
Soil Plug
Creates a solid base for the lead pier section to bear on firm strata.
