THE SUREFOOT PRINCIPLE
Surefoot’s engineering principles are based on a combination of shallow and deep foundation design methodology. It uses the theory of bearing capacity of a shallow foundation, plus the skin friction and toe resistance of a deep foundation in all soil types through a fully certified footing design. Micro Piles are driven with a jackhammer. The footing has instant capacity and does not disturb the ground, therefore affording tremendous efficiency of time, labour, material and project cost.
Low cost time saving, high strength & instant bearing capacity the Surefoot pile cap mimics a tree’s root system through a series of steel micro piles in a battered array, resolving foundations at relatively shallow depths and efficient transfer of load and uplift forces with minimal soil disturbance.
