Part 1

Watch EBR install a helical pipe pier in the bottom of a newly excavated swimming pool. The soil conditions were so poor 32 piers had to be installed on a grid pattern before the swimming pool could be constructed.

These piers twist through the muck and through the poor layers of ground until they reach stable strata deep below. These piers terminated at 25' below the ground surface and will provide at least 45,000 lbs of holding capacity...far exceeding the design requirements for this project. Despite freezing and snowy conditions this job was completed in only two days.

Part 2

Helical piers which will support the new pool were encapsulated into full length concrete beams spanning the length and width of the pool. Look closely to see the long concrete beams in the floor. These piers and beams will support the new shotcrete pool weight and prevent any possible settlement. This extra work was required due to very poor soil conditions as deep as 25' from the surface. The piers and beams will transfer the loads down to stable strata and eliminate any possibility of future settlement.
