Cast Study: Stabilizing a Foundation in Omaha, Nebraska

The Omaha Tribe of Nebraska needed to address significant foundation settlement in a building slated for renovation. The structure had undergone multiple additions, creating tight working spaces. Signs of foundation issues included inches of separation in mortar joints, signaling the need for immediate stabilization.
Our team installed 45 SettleStop® push piers to stabilize both the interior and exterior of the building. Despite tight spaces, the crew completed the task in eight days, ensuring the foundation was lifted and secured.
The stabilization restored the building’s structural integrity, allowing the renovation to proceed as planned. The project ensured the foundation would support future modifications, benefiting the Omaha Tribe by preserving the building for years to come.

Before Foundation Repair:

Foundation Settlement
When the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska sought to renovate a building on their reservation, they faced an unexpected challenge: significant foundation settlement issues. The most alarming issue was severe foundation heave, evident through visible separations in mortar joints, some measuring several inches wide.

Wall Cracks
Years of unaddressed foundation shifting caused several large vertical cracks to appear in the foundation walls. These structural deficiencies posed a serious risk to the stability and safety of the building, making immediate intervention necessary before any renovations could proceed.
After Foundation Repair:

Foundation Pier Installation
Groundworks quickly mobilized to tackle the foundation settlement issue with a series of foundation piers. Over the course of eight days, our installed a total of 45 SettleStop® push piers, strategically placed both inside and outside the building. These piers provided much-needed support to counteract the settlement and prevent further damage.
Seeing the Positive Effects
By securing the compromised areas with durable steel foundation piers, the team successfully halted further foundation settlement, restoring the building’s structural integrity. This crucial support allowed the Omaha Tribe to move forward with their renovation plans with confidence, knowing that their building now had a strong and stable foundation.
