Frequently Asked Questions About Helical Pile Foundations
What structures can I put on a helical pile foundation?
Truthfully, you can support nearly any structure on a helical pile foundation. They're used to support everything from small-scale residential projects to massive commercial or industrial construction.
Here at CDP Excavating, we can design and installing helical pile foundations for:● Cottages & Cabins● Docks, Boathouses, Boat Lifts● New Homes & Additions● Solar Energy● Retaining Walls● Garages, Barns, Outbuildings● Battery Energy Storage Units● Footers for Concrete● Custom Decks● And more!How do helical piles compare to concrete or driven foundations?
On the whole, a helical pile foundation is often more efficient and economical to install.
Concrete foundations often require fairly extensive excavation to prepare the ground. Then you need to bring in bulky equipment like mixing trucks, pumps, and more. Finally, you have to worry problems like excessive ground water or unexpected weather delaying the pour or cure time.
Driven steel piles may not require excavation like concrete does, but they still come with their challenges. They create vibrations and noise during installation, you still need bulky equipment, and they may need to be driven to great depths in order to achieve the proper support.
Helical piles, by comparison, have none of these problems. Instead of pouring concrete or pounding piles, we use a quiet hydraulic motor attached to an excavator to smoothly turn them down into the ground. Kind of like a massive screw into wood! The wide helix plates anchor firmly in the soil as the pressure exerted by the ground keeps the pile securely in place.
The result is that a helical pile installation is nearly silent, causes no disturbance, doesn't damage your ground, and still delivers incredible strength.Are helical piles a new technology?
Not at all! They were first invented in the United Kingdom by a man called Alexander Mitchell in the 1830's. They became a common foundation solution for structures in difficult soils like lighthouses, bridges, and piers. Over nearly two centuries they've been studied, developed, and improved, transforming them into the revolutionary technology you see today.
In fact, there's some structures here in the states that have been standing on helical piles for 150 years!Do engineers in New York trust helical piles?
Yes, and it's not just engineers in New York who are confident in the performance and benefits of helical pile foundations. You can find helical piles used across the entire world to support a staggering variety of structures. The technology has been extensively studied and is very well-understood by modern structural engineering.
