A building foundation support and repair system includes a column of generally
cylindrical pile sections driven into the earth below the edge of the foundation
and having an earth penetrating bit attached to the lowermost pile section. The
bit includes a center post member extending within a bore in the lowermost pile
section and/or a sidewall journaling the lower end of the lowermost pile section.
The bit may be connected to an elongated rod extending through the series connected
pile sections and used to drive the bit rotatably during installation of the pile
sections and to minimize lateral excursion of the support system during and after
installation of the column of pile sections.
