New product from Pieresearch® in early 2021
Pieresearch® presents the Adjustable Quick-Lock® Unibar® (patent pending) centralizers for auger-cast piles in the first quarter of 2021. They keep the tendon/bar centered in the pile allowing for minimum grout/concrete coverage and assemble quickly by snapping two identical halves together over the tendon/rebar and securing with tie wire. These new centralizers will accommodate shafts ranging from 10" to 17" and adjust to rebar/tendon sizes #6 thru #18.

The Up and Comer: GMS Piling Products |
GMS started from humble beginnings in the Wyoming Valley in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, as a supplier of drilling materials, primarily micropile casing, and drilling equipment tooling. Today, GMS supplies tooling, micropile casing, pipe pile, sheet pile, and a scope of services for keeping its drilling and pile driving customers’ projects moving forward. Oriented towards customer satisfaction and communications, not product volume, GMS has become one of the largest suppliers of structural steel pipe on the East coast. Last year GMS relocated across the county, more than doubling its facility space, nearly tripling its yard space and adding rail access to meet clients’ needs and price points.

Helical Piles Withstand Alaska Earthquakes |
|
Nov. 30, 2018, back-to-back earthquakes and aftershocks of 7.0 and 5.7 magnitudes shook Anchorage, Alaska, damaging roads, public buildings, houses, and sinking foundations. What remained solid and strong were structures built on Techno Metal Post helical piles. When our dealer in Alaska surveyed the helical pile projects they had installed, all were still secure and the foundations unharmed. As a result, post-quake, more people are requesting Techno Metal Post for foundation repairs and new foundations. Our helical piles are designed, engineered, and tested to the highest quality and standards, guaranteeing durability, security, and sustainability.
