Magnum Push Piers
Steel push piers down to deep bearing ground, each tested.
Why inject at heritage buildings?
- No digging along the old foundations
- Small drill holes of 12 to 16 mm, barely visible
- Continuous laser control: every millimetre is measured
- No vibration, important for old masonry and vaults
- The resin is light: about 85 kg/m³
Two techniques
| Deep Lift (resin) | Magnum Push Piers | |
|---|---|---|
| When | The weak layer is shallow, down to about 3.5 m | The bearing layer is deeper |
| Intervention | Only small drill holes | Local excavation to about 1 m |
| Control | Laser per injection point | Test pressure per pier |
First a survey
We start with a subsidence survey: crack pattern, level differences, crack gauges and soil data. For listed buildings we agree the approach with the architect and the heritage authority.
With serious damage, have a structural engineer assess the situation. Soiltek is a specialist contractor: we record, measure, propose a technique and carry out the repair, in consultation with your engineer.
