The majority of the installation training was spent on several different jobsites, where the attendees received hands-on training on the proper techniques used to install the FSI product line. The first two days of the field training focused on wall stabilization products, including the Geo-Lock® Wall Anchor System, PowerBraces™, and the CarbonArmor™ System.

Midwest Basement Systems to Begin New Construction Helical Project
Posted by Dave in Dealer Updates on April 7, 2009
Midwest Basement Systems was recently awarded a project to install 66 new construction helical piles for a school renovation project in Leon, IA. The piles will be installed to support the new foundations as well as a structural slab. Helical piers were the perfect solution for this project because of limited access adjacent and within the existing building. The project also requires that a load test be conducted to verify the pile capacity and performance (settlement) under load. Tim Heady, owner of Midwest Basement Systems, recently hired a new employee, Mark Rasmusson, to manage his commercial foundation division. Mark’s engineering background and construction experience will be a great asset to Midwest Basement Systems on these types of projects.
