Helical piers (also known as helical piles) are used in new construction in place of micropiles, caissons, geopiers or other deep foundation systems. They prevent future foundation settlement, protect your new investment, and prevent future foundation repair.
Benefits in new construction include:
- All-weather installation
- Can be installed with either handheld or small equipment
- Can be installed in areas of limited or tight access
- Foundation concrete can be poured immediately following installation
- Lead sections can be configured to achieve design depth and capacity
- Cost-competitive versus other deep foundation alternatives
- Vibration-free installation (unlike traditional driven piles)
- Installs quickly without generating spoils
