PROBLEM: A client contacted HELITECH after a St. Louis City Building Inspector referred her. An abandoned building next door to her house had fallen on the east wall of her house and torn the gutters off. Without the gutters being replaced, subsequent rains caused a section of the soil under the stone foundation wall to erode.
SOLUTION: HELITECH began by installing a shoring system to support the soil. The crew then built a steel framed cage adjacent to the wall with a 4’ wide and 2’ thick footing. HELITECH sprayed concrete onto the steel cage using a method called Shot Crete. The crew then hand trowelled the Shot Crete wall to a smooth finish.
