Our Technology

RAM JACK® Helical Piles consist of steel shafts with round helix plates welded down various points of the shaft. They are used to transfer loads from upper surface soil layers to deeper, more suitable load-bearing rock or solid soil stratum. Piers are torque-driven into the earth until they reach bedrock or a minimum depth determined by engineers. Brackets are then attached on top of the piles to support construction of new foundations, or to rest under the foundations of existing structures. Helical Piles are the product of choice for new construction applications. piles are driven into place and capped with pre-construction brackets. Brackets are then anchored to rebar in the foundation before concrete is poured. Helical Anchors or tie-backs can also be driven at various angles to support retaining walls, tower structures, light poles, large tents and other similar structures.

RAM JACK® Push piles are also known as Resistance piles, since they push against or use the resistance of an existing structure’s foundation to drive themselves to a depth in the ground where the strata directly supports the load of the structure. Push Piers are the most common solution for repairing damaged foundations. These round, steel pipe piles are hydraulically-driven into the ground and combined with various foundation attachment brackets used to “underpin” the foundation of an existing structure. The assembly is driven vertically below the foundation or footing of a structure to bear on rock or a solid soil stratum. Hydraulic jacks or cylinders are then used to raise the affected areas where settlement has occurred in a structure, resulting in Maximum Practical Recovery of the structure’s elevation.
