Why Olshan & Cable Lock™Cable Lock Plus animation Plus?

Why Olshan & Cable Lock™ Plus? Because all repair systems are not alike. Cable Lock™ Plus is so unique it has been awarded U.S. Patent No. 5,288,175. This means the process is protected against duplication by non-authorized representatives. This simply means that if your foundation repair contractor is not using Cable Lock™ Plus, you are settling for an inferior method of foundation repair.

The Cable Lock™ Plus System Advantages

  • It has all the advantages of the simple pressed pilings, plus installation controls.
  • Depth can be verified by measuring the cable extension.
  • The cable has a tensile strength of 200,000 p.s.i. vs. a maximum of 60,000 p.s.i. rebar used in other systems.
  • The cable controls horizontal movement.
  • The Cable Lock™ Plus System achieves 20.3% greater depth in the average installation as compared to slick slided concrete repair methods.
  • The entire pile system is locked together with the cable, which prevents space between cylinders during wet/dry cycles.
  • City inspectors, engineers, and you personally can verify job performance.
  • Pilings are tested during installation (concrete and soil) to ensure future performance.
  • A safety factor provided by load distribution and thixotropy ensures the pilings’ future performance.
