Cantsink Manufacturing is a maker of helical piers at 16- and 19-inch diameters with certification from the International Code Council.
The ICC is an independent association dedicated to developing model codes and standards used in the design, build and compliance process to construct safe, sustainable, affordable and resilient structures. Through its AC358 specifications, the ICC tests helical piers for their compliance with a set of industry quality standards for these foundation products.
Cantsink 2-7/8-inch HHS and its 1-1/2-inch RCS have received ICC certification after 20 months of testing, inspection and published reporting. This ICC-certified product line offers a range of options for tie back anchors, vertical and compression piles and micropiles. Results can be found online under ESR-1559.
Patrick Hutchinson, president of Cantsink, helped the ICC develop its standards for helical piles. He said Cantsink and its staff are proud to uphold high quality standards for product performance.
“As we celebrate our 30th anniversary year, we are more committed than ever to offering a range of helical products,” Hutchinson says. “We are proud to have received the ICC’s official certification after testing and independent scrutiny.”
Made in Georgia from 100 percent U.S. steel, Cantsink helical piers offer guaranteed stability for foundations, retaining walls and other structures under a range of soil and weather conditions. Cantsink products are ideal for new construction as well as remedial stabilization.
The Cantsink design makes its helical piers 50 percent stronger than other steel piers. Its installation process is also less disruptive than other stabilization methods.
