Alternative Deck Footing Product, Diamond Pier, Releases 10-year Study Examining Frost Heave Performance

When the Diamond Pier Foundation System appeared on shelves over 10 years ago, there was hesitancy with new users about the system - in fear that it would not hold up to frost heave pressures. Additionally, since there is no ASTM testing methodology for foundation systems in freezing conditions, so the building code industry relies upon observational evidence as the basis for deriving a reasonable standard of performance for a given frost zone depth.
