Engineers Throughout Alabama Learn About Helical Foundation Systems
More than 60 engineers attended seminars hosted by Alabama Foundation Specialists in both Huntsville and Birmingham, Alabama. Foundation Supportworks’ Director of Engineering, Jeff Kortan, P.E., facilitated the sessions which discussed the benefits, applications, capacities and testing requirements for helical foundation systems, helical soil nails and push pier systems. The five hour long presentations allowed for a great deal of interaction, question and answer time, and networking for the engineers. While many of the engineers in attendance had experience specifying helical and push pier systems in commercial projects in the past, some were excited to learn about this deep foundation alternative for the first time and saw immediate applications on current projects. Alabama Foundation Specialists is the leading structural contractor in the Alabama area, servicing communities such as Huntsville, Birmingham and Montgomery, AL as well as Columbus, GA and Chattanooga, TN.

Foundation Supportworks of New Jersey Presents to Engineers
Foundation Supportworks of New Jersey, a Quality 1st Company, coordinated presentations to two groups of engineers in early June. Jeff Kortan, P.E., from Foundation Supportworks Inc., spoke to one engineering office over lunch on the topic, “An Introduction to Helical Foundation Systems and Push Piers.”
Foundation Supportworks of New Jersey also coordinated another, similar presentation where several different engineering firms were invited to a hotel conference room to learn about helical foundation systems, push piers, and other structural solutions from FSI.
In addition, Foundation Supportworks was the featured speaker at the New Jersey Association of Licensed Professional Home Inspector’s monthly meeting. Jeff spoke for two hours on the Causes, Symptoms and Solutions for Common Foundation Problems. Approximately 60-70 local home inspectors were in attendance.
Foundation Supportworks of New Jersey is a great resource for homeowners in need of Foundation Repair, or specifiers looking for a qualified helical pile installation for a new construction application.
