---

Project Scope:
Single story home on crawl space foundation had experienced fairly severe settlement. As a result of settlement, lateral loads were causing walls to buckle outward.

Solution:
After piers were installed and foundation lifted to near original level, Fortress Carbon Fiber was used to tie foundation back together.

Observations:
Fortress Carbon Kevlar Grid was installed in one day, allowing foundation to be re-parged coated for aesthetics the next day.
