The 2007 Florida Building Code has defined Micropiles and Pile Foundations within Chapter 18, Section 1808.  The definition of underpins as commonly used throughout the industry would be encompassed in these definitions.  Recently members of FAS3 were requested to provide assistance to the Hillsborough County Building Department in developing an Underpin Plan Review Checklist.  FAS3 is proud to have played a part in the development of this plan review process.  This is just an example of one of the ways in which this Association can make a significant contribution to ensure that the design and workmanship within the industry is held to higher standards than has been the case in the past.  We are pleased with this progress and look forward to providing continued assistance in the development of further standards of work with other Building Departments and governing agencies.
