SmartGeo Flex-Pier System™

(Height-Adjustable, Seismic-Ready Pier System for Unstable or Complex Soil Conditions)

The SmartGeo Flex-Pier System™ is WAN-NSO’s adaptive pier foundation engineered for sites where soil unpredictability, moisture fluctuation, or seismic drift can compromise structural stability.
This system is designed for precision leveling, uplift resistance, and long-term structural reliability, even in geologically dynamic regions.

ENGINEERING PURPOSE & PERFORMANCE PROFILE

1. Vertical Precision Alignment

The Flex-Pier System allows 2–24 inches of micro-adjustment, enabling:

  • slope corrections
  • post-settlement re-leveling
  • modular stacking alignment
  • chassis-to-pier harmonization

This makes it ideal for topographically irregular sites and long-term structural maintenance.

2. Lateral Stability Engineering

With triaxial bracing reinforcement, the system resists:

  • soil shear movement
  • seismic micro-shifts
  • wind-induced lateral drift
  • hydrostatic soil pressure

Stability is maintained even on clay-heavy or liquefaction-prone soils.

3. Corrosion & Environmental Protection

All steel surfaces are treated with a marine-grade nano-ceramic coating that:

  • resists corrosion for 50–70 years
  • protects against salt spray and humidity
  • prevents structural pitting in tropical climates

This makes SmartGeo ideal for Caribbean, Southeast U.S., Middle East, and South American coastal zones.

4. Soil Compatibility Intelligence

The system is compatible with:

• Expansive Clays (high shrink-swell index)

Vertical Alignment System maintains levelness despite seasonal expansion cycles.

• Sandy or Loose Soils

Deep anchor footings prevent uplift or tilt.

• High Water Table Zones / Swamps

Steel piers outperform concrete in hydrostatic environments.

• Sloped Terrains

Pier adjustments eliminate the need for heavy excavation, protecting site ecology.
