  • Patent number: 12546085
    Abstract: Lateral extensions enhance the capacity and stability of a foundation element by penetrating the surrounding substrate creating a stronger underpinning. The load bearing capacity of a foundation element is increased by deploying extensible components into the surrounding substrate/soil. The breadth of a foundation element is expanded by extending components into the surrounding soil via an expansion mechanism integrated within a foundation element or piling and deployed into the surrounding substrate once the foundation element is positioned in the ground.
