Building Dispute Practitioners Society Piers are needed for many builds in Greenbank where the soil is shallow or where water table levels are high. Newer homes in the New Beith and Spring Mountain areas sometimes sit on fill that is not compacted. The common failings here are holes not cleaned before the concrete arrives, or steel cages placed in the wrong position.

About an hour for most lots. More time is needed if there are many piers or holes are deep.
Water must be removed or pumped out. You cannot pour concrete into a wet hole. It will weaken the pier.
The cage and concrete sit on the bottom. Loose rock or clay changes the engineering design. The pier will not sit on the correct founding material.
Yes. The depths, diameter and cage spacing are written on the drawings. We check the site against these drawings.
No. The certifier checks that work meets the QBCC Standards and Tolerances Guide. We check the hole for you.
We note the position and size. The builder must fix it before concrete is poured. The hole is then rechecked.
