- Cut construction costs significantly by reducing the number and size of piles required by up to 33%.
- Save on materials and labor with up to 50% less concrete needed for pier construction.
- Lower your foundation expenses by reducing pile cap thickness by up to 25%.
- Increase your revenue opportunities and market share with up to 25% more lift capacity, using the same number of lift stations.
- Boost operational efficiency and reduce costs by 20% to 33% compared with legacy wire rope systems.
- Upgrade after original duty life or when your yard outgrows its current needs, like some of our repeat clients have.
