American Royal Building

Steel Piering at the American Royal Building in Kansas City, MO

 

2 7/8 Single 8 Helix installed to depths from 32ft to 75ft. These are being placed under the failed CMU Wall inside the arena. This was a real safety hazard for the people visiting the arena. Work was being done for the City of Kansas City and JE Dunn.

 

KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Pier installed with the bracket. It is ready to be bolted to the foundation and backfilled.

Most all the KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Steel Piers were installed using a 430 Bobcat. They where torque to 2200 Psi. We needed to have an ultimate load of 30,000lbs, with allowed us with a 15,000lb working load.

A requirement of the project was to do a test pier to determine that the depth and load could be achieved. A senior engineer came into town to do the test. Fernando helped throughout the project.

Test pier installed.

American Royal Building. Downtown Kansas City Missouri. We installed 95 – 2 7/8 Helical pier under a failing CMU Wall. This project bid once before but it was determined the winning installer did not have the experience the city was requiring. That is Why KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair was called and was used to ultimately perform the job.

Entrance into the Building

You can see the CMU wall has cracked and the slab has dropped. The engineers on project determined that lifting was not the way to go, so we stabilized it from any downward movement.

Crack in the CMU wall and the wall is rotating outward.

Orange boxes represent where the Steel piers where going to be installed.

You can see the clips that hold the wall at the top are no longer touching the CMU wall. These were replaced after the work was completed.

The test pier has been installed in the middle and the outer piers are called reactor piers. We are going to apply pressure on the center pier in small increments and measure the deflection of the pier.

Gages are very sensitive and measure the slightest movement.

Holes opened up in the floor and ready for the piers to be installed.

Josh from is carefully monitoring the gauges and recording all data from the load test. The KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair piers exceeds the expectations of the onsite engineer.

They did amazing from start to finish. Very professional and courteous to my needs. Respected my house and cleaned up great afterwords. They are who I'll be calling again!
I had high confidence in KC Waterproofing and the crew that worked on our foundation. They worked hard during cold and snow to complete our work in a timely manner. I would certainly recommend them for consideration with your own foundation concerns and repairs.
Very professional! Everything was explained to me in a way I could understand. Project was done in a timely manner and everything was cleaned up. I would definitely recommend KC Waterproofing and Foundation Repair.
The crew installed the stabilizing piers as planned and almost as scheduled (weather delays), and cleaned up and remediated the work area upon completion.

After having a poor experience with a different company, we made sure we got multiple quotes for our ongoing basement flooding and foundation concerns.Matt L came out to give us our quotes and evaluate our issues which included ongoing basement flooding through our windows as well as improper grading. He was very professional and kind, explained everything that was simple to understand but thorough.We got the side of our house re-graded by Gerry and his team. They were efficient, thorough, and professional. They helped us look at other potential repairs based on our concerns!Our windows were replaced by Dean who did an excellent job! They look amazing. The job site got cleaned flawlessly you wouldn’t even know he was there. The windows are a huge upgrade.We received quotes from 4 companies, however KC Waterproofing was by far the best company to work with start to finish. The coordinated the job so multiple crews came on the same day, which really helped me. They were the only ones that provided solutions at different cost levels, provided a quote on time and reviewed it with us, easy to schedule and communicate with, as well as overall professional. Their pricing was very reasonable and competitive with all other bids. I would definitely recommend them! I’m bummed I didn’t take before photos.
Mario was timely, professional, and efficient. I will continue to utilize and recommend this business based on the excellent service he provided.
Mario was very helpful on his visit to my home. I was concerned about one of the anchors that was installed this summer. He assured me that all was intact and doing like it is supposed to be doing. Thank you Mario!
