Abstract:
A method for lifting and supporting above ground a concrete slab foundation employing hydraulic jacks includes installing piers in the ground, each with a pier extension protruding above ground. A lifting assembly is placed over each pier extension, the lifting assembly having a lift sleeve and upward extending lifting members. Then the slab foundation is poured, bonding a portion of the lifting assembly in concrete. After the slab foundation hardens, a jack is positioned on top of the pier extension, and lifting arms of the jack engage the lifting members. The jack is actuated to exert an upward force on the lifting assembly to lift the slab foundation above the ground. Then, the lift sleeve is rigidly secured to the pier extension, allowing the jack and lifting arms to be removed.

Claim (Index 20):
The method according to  claim 17 , wherein:\n the lifting assembly further comprises upward extending bolts welded to an exterior of the lift sleeve; the lifting members comprise hooks welded to the exterior of the lift sleeve and circumferentially spaced from the bolts; rigidly securing the lifting assembly to the pier extension comprises: placing an upper holding plate on an upper end of the pier extension before lifting the slab foundation, and placing the jack on top of the upper holding plate, the upper holding plate having bolt holes that receive the bolts and recesses that allow the hooks to through as the slab foundation is lifted; and securing nuts to the bolts after insertion through the holes in the upper holding plate.
