Plymouth at Amelia Apartments - Interior

LRE Foundation Repair (LRE) installed exterior piers on the perimeter footer July 2020. The piers are preforming as designed with no new settlement to date. LRE was called, July of 2021 to help with the settlement issues of the interior slab at the Plymouth at Amelia Apartment building. The same Northern area of buildings interior slabs and partition walls in units 5 & 6 were settling. The slab and partition walls are independent of the exterior wall and foundation elements. The Apartment complex houses university students and the repair was required to be designed, permitted and completed, prior to start of the next school semester.

The owner retained Ramos Engineering & Associates (RE&A) to formulate a stabilization program. RE&A designed the interior slab and partition wall stabilization for units 5 & 6. The design included using, 31 Foundation Supportworks, FSI HP 287 piers, with 8"-10" helix configuration. The design included retro fit brackets for the interior load bearing walls and slab brackets for the slab areas. LRE successfully installed the piers in time for the apartments to be rented out for the upcoming school year.
