AI-Powered Foundation Repair at a Pepsi Factory in Knoxville, TN
A Pepsi Company factory in Knoxville, TN, was experiencing signs of foundation instability at the front of its facility. With commercial operations running daily, the management team needed a reliable, low-disruption solution that would stabilize the building while preserving its curb appeal.
AFS designed and executed a customized commercial foundation repair plan using helical piers—completing the project in just under four days with minimal site disturbance.
The Challenge
- Foundation instability at the front of a commercial facility
- Need to avoid disrupting factory operations
- Project required minimal impact to landscaping and site appearance
The Solution
- Installation of 50 helical piers for deep foundation stabilization
- Protective ground covering with plywood and a 120-mil barrier
- Strategic backfilling and mulch restoration to maintain aesthetics
The Impact
- Factory foundation fully stabilized and settlement risks eliminated
- Facility operations continued uninterrupted during repair
- Landscaping preserved and site restored with professional finish
Before Commercial Foundation Repair:
Signs of Foundation Movement
The front of the Pepsi factory in Knoxville showed early signs of foundation settlement, which raised immediate concerns for the management team. Given the scale and function of the facility, even minor structural movement could lead to serious long-term problems if not addressed.
After Commercial Foundation Repair:
Helical Piers Delivered Stability
AFS installed 50 helical piers along the front of the factory to anchor the foundation deep into stable soil, successfully halting movement and restoring structural integrity. The piers provided permanent support and eliminated the risk of future settlement.
Clean, Professional Finish
Once installation was complete, the team restored the landscaping with fresh mulch and left the site looking clean and orderly. The factory remained fully operational throughout, and the property’s appearance was preserved from start to finish.

This has been an amazing experience. Calling the office I got scheduled right away. I met with George who walked the property with me, answered all my questions. He went over the quote, sent it to me in email with a complete diagram of what would be taken care of. Today I met the technician’s Gavin and Johnathan today to let them in the house. They arrived, completed a walk down with me and got right to work. They were punctual, professional and so polite. I was able to watch the process and see the progress. I’m so impressed with the entire experience! Great company and staff to work with!
