Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Helical Pile?
Each helical pile is composed of a steel pipe shaft with a 45° cut at the bottom and one or more formed helical plates welded outside.
Helical piles deliver benefits over competing foundation systems including reduced environmental footprint, speed of installation and applications within diverse soil and environmental conditions.
Each of our projects are specifically designed and engineered so that the correct size and type of pile can be installed.
Yes, helical piles have less of an environmental footprint as they are easily installed and removed from the ground unlike a concrete pillar that’s remnants are harder to remove from the soil.
Helical piles can be used for numerous projects. From fencing, decking, additions, signage, industrial projects, solar panels, grain bins, and more.
