An underpinning pile assembly for supporting a structure upon the earth has a plurality of pile segments, a cable extending through a continuous passageway of the plurality of pile segments, and an anchor assembly positioned at the top of the plurality of pile segments. Each of the plurality of pile segments is stacked one upon another. The cable has a lower end affixed to one of the plurality of pile segments. The anchor has an opening that receives a portion of the cable therein so as to fix a position of an upper end of the cable. The anchor assembly has at least one column extending upwardly from an upper surface thereof. An adjustable support is affixed to the column and has a surface opposite the column that is adapted to support the structure thereon.

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.

A stabilizer anchor securing a manufactured building to the ground while resisting movement from forces against the building, having an elongated rod with a helical flight at a first end and a connector at an opposing end, which rod slidingly receives a plate for movement relative to the rod during installation. A stabilizer member connects between a connector of the rod and an I-beam of the manufactured building for communicating forces on the building to the ground. A method of securing a manufacturing building to the ground while resisting movement in response to forces against the building is disclosed.

Described are an apparatus and method for driving piles prior to lifting and stabilizing foundations that have subsided in unstable ground. A press head, comprising two non-slip arms actuated by a safety lever, is connected to an angle cleat-type foundation piece secured to the foundation by a pair of hydraulic rams in order to drive the piles into the ground as far as the bedrock when the rams contract. The apparatus includes a safety system actuated by the lever for controlling the arms. In order to level the building, other hydraulic rams are installed on each driven pile, all connected in series in order that they may be actuated simultaneously in order to lift the building. When the foundations have been adequately raised and levelled, each pile and the corresponding angle cleat-type foundation piece, both made of steel, are welded in order to stabilize the foundations.

A cutting tool adapter for creating an underpinning structure and method of creating the underpinning structure are provided. In some examples, the cutting tool adapter may connect a cutting tool to a working machine arm to enable the cutting tool to cut and dislodge soil below an existing foundation or structure. As the soil is cut and dislodged, it is mechanical mixed with an additive, such as a cementitious material, via the cutting tool. The mixed soil and additive may then harden in the area below the existing structure or foundation to create an underpinning structure to provide additional support for the existing structure or foundation.

A pile driver driven foundation bracket system includes a foundation bracket drive unit and a foundation bracket unit. The foundation bracket drive unit includes a pile driving unit interface configured to engage with a pile driving unit, a hollow sleeve, and a foundation bracket drive interface. The pile driving unit interface is connected to a first end of the hollow sleeve, and the foundation bracket drive interface is connected to a second end of the hollow sleeve. The foundation bracket drive interface is removably connected to the foundation bracket unit. The foundation bracket unit includes a horizontal foundation bracket support arm, a foundation bracket brace having an opening, the opening being configured to allow soil to flow therethrough when the foundation bracket unit is rotated, and a foundation bracket hollow sleeve.

The present invention relates to a pier support system that provides for efficient and effective stabilization and lifting of foundations and structures. The present invention relates to a one-piece or one-part pier support system that provides for efficient and effective stabilization and lifting of foundations and structures. The present invention relates to methods of using one-piece of one-part pier support systems that are efficient and effective in stabilizing and lifting foundations and structures.
