How Does the Chance Helical Steel Pier System Work?
 

The A. B. Chance® Helical Pier Systems offer a technically superior and cost effective alternative to other remedial systems. Our patented stabilizing system is backed by more than 80 years of structural engineering experience. The concept is founded on the principle of turning a screw anchor into stable subsoil strata until the torque applied indicates that the necessary load capacity has been achieved.  Adjustable brackets are then attached to the base of your foundation walls">
