How Dwyer Company Restored Structural Integrity with a Turn-Key Wall Replacement System
When a foundation wall progresses beyond simple repair due to severe bowing or bulging, it requires a complete structural intervention. For the Turco project, our team was called in to address a failing foundation that threatened the building’s long-term stability. By implementing a full-scale replacement strategy, we provided a permanent solution that transformed a high-risk structural failure into a reinforced, waterproofed, and code-compliant foundation.

Working closely with Manning Contracting, The Dwyer Company engineered and installed a precision helical pier foundation system that eliminated the need for deep excavation and allowed the project to stay on schedule. This custom-engineered solution proved that even in constrained conditions, structural stability and efficiency can go hand in hand.

The Challenge:
The primary project constraint involved a foundation wall that had sustained bowing and bulging beyond the point of traditional stabilization methods. The existing structure was no longer capable of supporting the lateral earth pressure, creating an urgent need for a replacement that wouldn’t compromise the rest of the building’s stability during construction. The project required a meticulous balance of deep excavation, temporary shoring, and precise masonry work to ensure a seamless transition from the old failing wall to the new reinforced system.
Precision Foundation Reconstruction & Waterproofing
The Dwyer Company executed a turn-key replacement system designed to handle every phase of the structural recovery. The process began with temporary shoring to secure the building’s load, followed by the complete excavation and removal of the compromised CMU/concrete.
Our installation team then constructed a new, high-strength foundation wall. To ensure the new structure would outperform the original, we integrated a multi-layered defense system:
- Masonry Excellence: New walls were built to strict engineering specifications provided by Cole Engineering.
- Water Management: A comprehensive waterproofing and drainage system was installed to prevent the hydrostatic pressure issues that often cause wall failure.
- Turn-Key Execution: From the initial dig to the final masonry finish, the entire process was managed by Dwyer to ensure 100% compliance with modern building codes.
The entire replacement was completed in just 14 days, providing the owner with an economical solution and a foundation rated to last for the next century.
