Meet the nearly two-century old foundation technology that's taking construction by storm as it unlocks speed, strength, and durability, that isn't possible with other solutions
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 structure. They come in a variety of designs to suit any project.
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 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
Unlike the typical digging, setting rebar, and pouring concrete, that "traditional" foundations require, here's how we install a helical pile solution...
Pile locations are carefully marked on your site
Using a compact excavator, we smoothly rotate each pile into the ground (no soil disturbance)
Special monitors tell us when every pile reaches the right load capacity
Caps secure to the pile tops for an easy transition to your home addition - it's now ready to use!
