Inspect for Underground Obstacles

The same obstacles that conventional foundation systems encounter, such as rocks, tree roots,

underground utility lines, and other buried objects, can also obstruct the Diamond Pier system. Refer to

the “Encountering Obstructions” subsection (page 12) for instructions on handling buried obstacles. If an

obstacle is encountered that cannot be passed using the breaker hammer while driving the pins and not

cracking the pier head in the process, the pins can be removed and the concrete head rotated, allowing

the pins to penetrate the soil in a different location.

Locate Buried Utilities

WARNING: Do not install Diamond Pier foundations before all underground utilities have

been located, marked, and de-energized.

All underground utility lines must be located and properly marked by your local official utility locating

service, and all privately run lines must also be identified and located by the proper authority. If there are

any electrical lines in the area, de-energize the power source prior to installing the Diamond Pier founda-

tions. Never allow bodily contact with uninsulated portions of the automatic breaker hammer. Wear

properly rated rubber-insulated gloves and boots. In, addition, if underground utilities are located on the

site, check with your local utility locating service to confirm required safety zones. You must ensure that

the horizontal pin distance for your foundation will have adequate horizontal clearance to be well outside

all safety zones (see Figure 2 and Table 2 on next page).
