Helical Piers
Helical piers are a foundation/footing solution used to secure new footings or repair existing foundations. Due to their design and ease to install, they are most commonly used whenever soil conditions prevent standard foundation solutions. Instead of requiring large excavation work, they thread into the ground. This minimizes installation time, requires little soil disturbance, and most importantly transfers the weight of the structure to load bearing soil. Compared with traditional concrete piers, helical piers are much simpler to install. Concrete piers involve multiple steps and may require two inspections, holding up progress. Helical piers are generally installed in one step saving both installation and inspection time for all.
Benefits of Helical Piers:
Helical Piers, sometimes called anchors, footings, piles or screwpiles are used to support or stabilize new or existing foundations. Engineers determine the amount of force a pier can resist in proportion to the amount of torque required to spin them into the ground. This is monitored by a torque meter that is attached to the drive head. Helical piers are made out of steel or galvanized steel. They essentially look like a large screw. The piers or leads are easily turned into the ground by a machine to the desired load capacity depending upon your building plans.
Helical Piers for deck footings:
Helical piers are the perfect solution for decks, porches and additions. No excavating, concrete or redoing all of your landscaping. Instead of digging a hole, waiting for an inspection (praying it doesn’t rain), pouring your concrete, wait for it to dry and then build….. we install helical piers where you need your post footings. They are easy to install and commonly used where soil conditions are questionable. Helical Piers thread into the ground like a screw. This minimizes install time, requires little disturbance to the ground and landscaping and most importantly transfers the weight of the structure to the load bearing soil to the desired torque.
Helical Piers for poor soil conditions:
Helical piers have been traditionally used where soil conditions are questionable or known to be poor. Driving down as many leads as needed to get down to solid buildable ground is much easier than digging endlessly to solid soil.
How does it work?
Engineers have determined the amount of force a pier can resist is proportionate to the amount of torque that’s required to spin a pier into the ground. The installer monitors a torque meter on the side of the drive head to know when we’ve reached the desired torque for what you are building.
Benefits of Helical Piers:
- Rapid installation
- Ready to build on immediately
- No excavation needed
- No concrete required, no cure time
- Removable
- Minimal environmental impact
- Low footprint on the job site
- Immediate load carrying capability
- Installation at remote locations or at sites with limited access
- Installation monitoring and verification of load capacity during installation
- Installation in high groundwater conditions
- Wide range of soil and load applications
