Ensure You Start With Quality
Half a century of proven engineering principals are leveraged in a high-quality solution that matches the performance of widely used commercial practices.
Tella Firma is an evolved, hybrid commercial foundation process that costs less to install and is less susceptible to timing, labor and weather uncertainties. This patented process elevates a slab-on-grade foundation above active soils to protect the slab from damaging soil swells, contractions, and movement.

Tella Firma is more cost-effective to install than remediation options or suspended foundations using carton forms or crawl spaces.
Weather cannot be controlled, but the risks of unforeseen rainfall can be mitigated. Tella Firma is the most weather-tolerant construction process and allows foundation installation much sooner in wet conditions.
Tella Firma holds seven patents on a process developed specifically to save time and money while minimizing risk.

Concrete Pier
Compared to concrete-cased piers, helical piers offer faster installation, less dependence on weather, and reduction of labor-related errors, all while requiring less concrete.
Tella Firma lifting mechanisms are the cornerstone of its patented technology. The system reduces the typical number of piers required for commercial foundations, and consist of:
