F.A.Q : Piers
Q |
Who designs bracing for piers? |
A |
Bracing type and locations should be specified by the engineer of the project who is familiar with the site wind conditions, exposure of the house and footing sizes etc. Typical bracing for piers is booker (threaded) rod, angle or RHS. |
Q |
When is it beneficial to use adjustable Easy Piers over brick piers? |
A |
- when there is no foundation wall as one trade (bricklayers) is then eliminated
- when the pier height is over 1 metre as brick piers get very expensive when high
- on sites that are likely to settle
- when owner builders want to do the work themselves
|
Q |
Does the EZI – PIER system require ant capping? |
A |
No. Ant caps are not a termite barrier, they are an inspection point. The exposed threaded rod is also an inspection point (in fact it is easier to inspect than ant caps) and is provided for under the termite code. |
