Helical Pile Foundations For
Battery Energy Storage Systems In Central New York
Renewable energy will only work at-scale if we can store that precious power. Helical piles offer a faster, easier, lower-carbon foundation for battery energy storage systems
Cleaner Support For The Future Of Energy
While battery energy storage promises to take us into the future, should you be building yours on a concrete foundation of the past?
The demand for energy storage capacity in New York is growing by leaps and bounds. But for every solar or wind farm we install, the energy has to be stored somewhere. Traditional foundations for battery energy storage units can be slow, messy, and inaccurate. Helical piles are taking centre-stage as a premier foundation solution for BESS installations. No ground disturbance, no cure time, and less carbon emissions.

What Is A Helical Pile Foundation And How Does It Work?
This unique foundation technology first invented nearly two hundred years ago is once again revolutionizing how we build in the United States
Components Of A Helical Pile
It may not look like it at first glance, but helical piles deliver incredible load capacities in a streamlined package that outperforms other foundations
Pile Cap
The pile cap connects a helical pile to your battery energy storage unit. They come in a variety of designs to suit any foundation configuration.
Pile Shaft
A sturdy steel pipe forms the body of a helical pile and transfers loads down to the helix plates
Helix Plates
These specially-formed plates are the magic behind a helical pile. Their shape helps turn the pile into the ground without disturbance and anchor in firm soil
Pilot Point
In order to accurately and cleanly penetrate dense ground, a slant-cut pilot point gives us power and precision

What To Know About Helical Piles For Battery Energy Storage
Why are helical piles becoming a go-to foundation for battery energy storage in America? Here's just a few reasons...
Low Carbon Footprint
Concrete foundations generate huge amounts of carbon emissions in terms of raw materials. Does putting eco-friendly energy on a CO2-heavy foundation make sense? Not to us, which is why helical piles are a great solution. They emit a fraction of the carbon that concrete does, and can be easily removed and 100% recycled.
Perfect For Poorly-Supportive Soil
Weak and loosely-consolidated soils can spell nothing but trouble for concrete and driven pile foundations. Excavating is an endless chore of collapsing holes and driven piles have to go deep to find good support. The unique design of a helical pile enables it to deliver huge, and cost-effective, load capacities even in poor soils.
Durable & Long-Lasting
Manufactured from 100% steel and available with a protective galvanized coating, helical piles are supremely durable and long-lasting. Even in saturated and corrosive soils, a properly-installed helical foundation will deliver many decades of safe and reliable performance. Critical for essential infrastructure like battery energy storage.
Significantly Faster To Install
One of the most impressive aspects of a helical pile is how fast your foundation goes into the ground. Turning into the dirt at a constant rate and monitored in real-time for quality, you'll be building your energy storage units faster than concrete or driven piles.
How Your Battery Energy Storage Foundation Process Works
Not familiar with helical piles or using them for a battery energy storage foundation? You're not alone! That's why we've made the process as easy as 1-2-3
Consultation & Assessment
Having helical piles installed for battery energy storage can seem like a big, and intimidating, task. We understand that, which is why your project starts with a consultation to identify exactly how we can help.
Planning & Preparation
Once we know your needs, we'll create a clear plan on how to meet them. Everything is explained to you before we do it, so you never feel out of the loop.

Common Questions About Battery Energy Storage Foundations In New York
Questions about using helical piles for battery energy storage? We have answers below! Don't see your question? Get in touch and we'll be happy to help
Why use helical piles for battery energy storage units?
Speed, ease, and durability. In our opinion those are the top 3 reasons you'd want to use helical piles for battery energy storage, although there's many more! Because helical piles are quick to install, hold enormous weight, and emit less carbon, they're perfect for BESS.
How many helical piles will I need for my BESS project?
It depends on the type of BESS unit, how many you're building, the soil conditions, and several other factors. This is why there's no "one size fits all" answer. However, we'd be happy to help you develop the right helical foundation design! Just get in touch with our team to get started.
Can I trust the performance of a helical pile?
Yes, you can! Helical piles have been widely used and studied since their invention in the 1830's. In fact, you can even find highrise buildings in New York city that have been standing for years on helical foundations with zero issues. Engineer-approved and trusted.
How come I haven't heard of helical piles before?
Even though helical piles have been around for nearly 200 years and are used extensively, many in New York are still unaware of them. This is mostly due to the widespread use of concrete, however more contractors and engineers are switching to helical foundations.
How long can a helical pile foundation last?
A typical helical pile will easily deliver firm support for many decades. Protective tactics like a galvanized coating or increased material thickness keeps corrosion at bay and ensures you enjoy a foundation that your grandchildren could stand on someday.
