The allowable capacity of Geopier® ground improvement systems is site specific and varies depending on the soil and structural loading conditions and type of ground improvement system implemented. Allowable capacities of 200 kN (45 kips) to 1,000 kN (225 kips) can typically be achieved. Design bearing pressures for footings typically range from 200 to 400 kPa (4,000 to 8,000 psf) with higher values achievable on some projects.

I’m a plumber and this is the first time I did a job with geopier engineering, I don’t see anywhere on the plans where it says how close I can encroach with my plumbing ditch….I see it where the piers are holding up footings but not where they just come to the underside of the slab……can I get help with that? There’s about 1,000 of these don’t see how I’m going to miss them
Hi Mack, Thanks for the note. The best thing to do is to reach out to the General Contractor that was working on your project site and coordinate between the GC and the assigned Geopier designer. If you have any troubles, call our corporate office at (800) 371-7470 and provide the project name and location to see how else we can assist.
The maximum height building supported to date is 24 stories with the maximum practical height limited to about 30 stories. The practical building height is highly dependent on local geology, allowable settlement criteria and depths of compressible soil. Geopier systems are most commonly applied for structures of 20 stories or less at this time.

Thank you
Great job...grate idea
What is the maximum capacity( allawabel load ) for each kind of geo pire

Hello Tesla fans!
lol yea
Joe sent me!
Ha! Busted!
You caught me 😂
Tesla is Culture!

I can tell you they're trash for setting 260k precast walls on
