What are Helical Piles?

Helical piles (helical piers, screw piles, earth screws, etc.) are a versatile, fast, durable and cost- effective deep foundation technology. 

Helical pile foundations are segmented deep foundation systems with helical bearing plates welded to a central round or square steel shaft. The load of a structure is transferred from the shaft to the soil through these bearing plates. The concept is founded on the principle of turning a screw into stable subsoil strata until the torque applied indicates that the necessary load capacity has been achieved.  Helical piles work for both compression and tension loads.

Helical piles mean:

• structural stability in loose or poor soils,
• no vibrations installation,
• fast installation (no cure times),
• no spoils,
• using smaller equipment to install,
• no disruption to surrounding area,
• safe for environmentally sensitive areas,
• installation in small or enclosed spaces.

​Helical piles come in a wide range of sizes. 

​Square Shaft typically range from,  1.25" to 2.25" square bar diameter.  Lengths range from 3.5ft. to 10ft.   Round Shaft helical piles have typical diameters of 2.875" to 4.5" and lengths of 3.5ft to 10ft.  Additionally, high-capacity Round Shaft helical piles are typically 5.5", 7.0" and 8.625" diameter.  There are special application Round Shaft helical piles that reach up to 36" in diameter.

Helical piles also offer lateral stability, especially when installed with a grout column.   Often, helical piles are galvanized for corrosion protection. 

​Helical piles are a unique solution to many deep foundation and earth retention requirements.
