more info required....
Not trying to be harsh, but...
Piers to support what part of a structure? The floor? The center beam of a floor? The perimeter?
A precast concrete crawl space? What's that?
Com'on oldhand...
You know, pre-cast concete crawl spaces....big box store's isle 14B. Right next to the one armed paper hanger bolts.
Concrete piers
Well MR deadnuts...you got that one all wrong. These are built to spec by a well known company here in NE PA. Fortunate that most everyone who has responded in several forums evidently knew that.
If you want to get literal...
Actually, you have it wrong. YOu don't precast a "crawl space". You might precast the elements that surround a crawl space (like walls, ceilings, etc.), but the crawl space itself is a void. If it wasn't, you wouldn't be able to crawl in it.
BTW, a "well known" comany building structural elements to spec...without the specs. Must be a PA thing.

Well Backacres, Mr Deadnuts gets most things wrong. Surprsised he did not recommned PVC. LOL
It is a joke, dead.
I apologize for omitting that information...center floor beam. a lot has happened here with this project in the past several days and it's a lot to take in. .....here is info on precast crawl spaces (and full foundations)

I would think that your building inspector would require that you provide a foundation plan before you can get your permit. They certainly do around here.
Concrete piers
Thanks. There was a foundation plan submitted but there was nothing on the print regarding piers/girders. That, by the way, is part of the problem.
6 meters high x 1 meter wide = 6 square meters (if the top were not tapered)
find triangle areas to subtract from this square
