Anyone with experience installing foundation piers during construction?
I recently had geotechnical drilling conducted on strip mined land to determine what I need to do to prevent potential foundation issues.
My first impression was the fill material from 0’-14’ was pretty soft. I’m still waiting on the report to see what the engineer recommends but I foresee potentially having to install piers or something similar reaching 10’-14’ below the ground surface (where the reclaimed fill material stopped). I’m planning on having a 13 coarse basement.
Does anyone have any experience with the price per pier when constructing a house? Looks like I’m seeing maybe $300-$600/pier. The $2000/pier number I’m seeing looks like it more for foundation repair and not construction.
Appreciate any information. Just trying to game plan for the possible scenarios.
