What are Helical Piles?
Helical piles, also known as helical piers or screw piles, are steel shafts with helix-shaped plates that are driven into the ground to provide deep foundation support for various structures, including residential and commercial buildings. These piles are screwed into the soil, transferring the weight of the structure to the more stable soil layers beneath. They have become an increasingly popular foundation solution due to their quick installation process, and minimal disturbance to the surrounding area.
Benefits of Helical Piles
1. Versatile and Adaptable
Helical piles can be installed in a variety of soil types and conditions, making them a highly adaptable solution to various foundation problems. Their design allows for easy customization according to the specific requirements of your property.
2. Easy and Fast Installation
Compared to other foundation methods, helical pile installation requires less heavy equipment and has a faster installation process. This means minimal disruption to your property and a quicker turnaround time for the project.
3. Environmentally Friendly
Helical piles cause minimal disturbance to the surrounding environment and have a low ecological footprint. They can be easily removed and reused, making them an environmentally sustainable option for foundation repair.
4. Cost-Effective
Helical piles are often more cost-effective than other solutions for foundation repair. As they are quicker and easier to install, labor and equipment costs are generally lower than other foundation stabilization methods.
5. Increased Foundation Support and Longevity
Helical Piles are proven to provide strong, long-lasting support to your home’s foundation. Their deep installation into stable soil layers ensures a secure foundation, reducing the risk of future damage due to ground movement or soil settlement.
Applications of Helical Piles
Helical Piles can be utilized for a variety of foundation stabilization needs, including:
1. New Construction
They can be used as a proactive measure during new construction projects, ensuring a stable foundation from the outset.
2. Foundation Repairs
Helical piles are an effective solution for repairing existing foundation problems such as settling, shifting, or cracking.
3. House Lifting/Leveling
If your home requires lifting or leveling due to uneven settling or natural disasters, helical piles provide the necessary support for the process.
4. Retaining Walls and Slope Stabilization
For properties with retaining walls or slopes, helical piles can provide extra support and prevent erosion.
5. Commercial and Industrial Applications
Helical piles are also used in commercial and industrial construction where deep foundation support is needed.
