Earth Contact Products Announces Micro Pile Bracket Patent

OLATHE, Kan. - June 4, 2014 - PRLog -- Olathe―June 2, 2014―Earth Contact Products today announced that they have been awarded another break through underpinning bracket patent. The ECP 350MP Micro Pile Bracket System is a revolutionary breakthrough for contractors that use hollow bar micropiles for supplemental support for failing foundations. This system complements ECP’s industry leading lineup of underpinning brackets including push pier brackets, both concentric and eccentric, helical pile brackets and crawlspace brackets.

“This patent reaffirms our continued effort to innovate in our industry,” said Brad Mitchell, ECP’s owner. “We’re giving contractors amazing new tools to support residential and commercial foundations while providing engineers a solution that previously was not available.”

The 350MP patented pier bracket gives contractors the ability to install permanent support to foundations that rest over cobble or trash laden soils. No longer are contractors limited to soils that can be penetrated by the ECP patented push pier brackets or ECP helical anchors, the ECP 350MP allows you to drive hollow bar micropiles through these tough soils and create a firm bearing pile that attaches with a simple to use bracketing system made famous by ECP. When combined with the ECP synchronized lifting and stabilizing system the micropile bracket can restore lost elevations of a structure with precision and accuracy.

Additional 350MP features include:

• engineer proven design

• simple attachment to the foundation

• engineered load transfer

The ECP 350MP is available immediately for foundation contractors and engineers. ECP will also be making this patented system available to hollow bar micropile manufacturers to distribute through their normal distribution channels.

Earth Contact Products, LLC designs and manufactures the best foundation repair pier and pile products in the industry, along with the engineering and quality control standards that our customers demand.
