Due to poor soil compaction, five sinking townhouses needed to be stabilized and lifted 4" back to their original elevation. Fifty-seven AB Chance 5' RS2875.203 round shaft helical piles were installed to support the townhouses, and thirty AB Chance 5' SS-5 square shaft helical piles were installed to tie back the townhouses laterally. The job was completed under budget and ahead of schedule with no disruption to the residents. View our other helical pile case studies.
However, the term 'pier' often refers to a helical pile loaded in axial compression, while the term 'anchor' often refers to a helical pile loaded in axial tension.

The concept is founded on the principle of turning a helical (screw) pier into stable subsoil strata until the torque applied indicates that the necessary load capacity has been achieved.
Adjustable brackets are then attached to the base of your foundation walls, connecting the piers to the foundation. The weight of the structure is then transferred to the piers.
