It was this thought that inspired the invention of the Diamond Pier Foundation System. If you've ever spent an entire day digging holes in the hot sun or in freezing temps, or tried to dig post holes in a sandy beach terrain just to have the holes collapse, or had a project delayed waiting for a hole inspection, then you've probably had this same thought. There has to be a better way. The Diamond Pier system IS that better way. Based on time-tested spread pile technology, the Diamond Pier foundation uses the strength of a precast concrete head to lock in four weight-bearing, galvanized steel pins that transfer the load to a larger area of undisturbed soil than the traditional concrete footing.
