An underpinning device for support a structure is provided. The underpinning device is anchored within the ground using a grout or cement. The underpinning device comprises a rod having a proximal rod end and a distal rod end. A first interacting element is coupled to the proximal rod end and is encased in the slab of a building. A second interacting element is coupled to the distal rod end and include a removable tip. Upon insertion into the ground, the tip dissociates from the second interacting element creating an opening at the distal rod end. A fluid, such as grout and/or cement is injected into the pipe and extruded through channels within the rod. The fluid is then allowed to cure thereby anchoring the underpinning device within the ground.

A foundation structure is made up of a screw that is vertically adjustable into a pile to a desired height, a ball joint connected to the screw, and load bearing components that can be adjusted on the ball joint in 3-dimensional space with respect to the position of the pile. The load bearing components include one or more plates that define one or more hollow slots into which one or more bolts can be held in place vertically while still having allowance for lateral motion. A load bearing plate at the top of the structure can be laterally translated based on movement of the bolt. The load bearing plate is removably coupled to the floor of a building. The structure allows for vertical, lateral, and angular adjustment, providing tolerance for foundation misalignments due to inconsistencies inherent to topography and/or offset between an intended and an actual point of installation.

A crane (16) for upending an elongate structure such as a monopile (28) supports elongate rigging elements that are connected to the structure at respective connection axes spaced longitudinally along the structure. At least one of those elements, of fixed length (36), extends to a first connection axis and at least one other of those elements, of variable length (34), extends to a second connection axis. A frame (24) suspended from the crane (16) supports a winch (46) that pays out the variable-length element (34) of the rigging to lengthen that element. This lowers the second connection axis relative to the first connection axis, which serves as a pivot axis about which the structure is upended.

An anchor rod support comprises a support having a floor and legs extending downwardly from the floor with openings between the legs; and the support including threads for attaching thereto an anchor rod.

A foundation support system and method of installing the foundation support system. The foundation support system includes a pier system for providing support beneath a foundation, a support member, and a heave plate attachable to a bottom surface of the foundation. The method includes driving a pier system using a ram, coupling a support member to the heave plate, and engaging the support member with the pier system.
