New Construction Piles Support Foundation of Mt. Moriah AME Church

Holiday, Florida, July 10, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Because of soil conditions and time itself, the Mt. Moriah AME Church experienced significant foundation settlement, up to 12 inches of floor deflection in the worst places.  All Florida Ram Jack installed 118 helical piles, replaced the foundation slab and injected nearly 350 cubic yards of compaction gravel to restore stability to the structure once more.

It’s not every day one finds out severe foundation settlement exists beneath your feet.  But that is exactly what the owner of Mt. Moriah AME Church discovered after having an engineer inspect the structure.  An attempt at repairing the slab had been made in the past, but the job was inferior.  Wanting a permanent solution this time, the owner contacted All Florida Ram Jack.  

To begin, nearly 1,600 feet of linear casing was placed for future gravel injection.  Moving inside, Ram Jack discovered the existing slab was in bad shape and decided it best to install a new one.  118 interior helical piles were installed to support the new slab and roughly 350 cubic yards of compaction gravel were used to create reliable foundation soils, ensuring the structure would remain stable.
