WHAT IS A HELICAL PILE?/HOW DOES IT WORK?
Helical piles, which are sometimes referred to as helical piers, helical anchors, and posts, are a screw-in pile used to build deep foundation systems and ground anchoring systems. A helical pile consists of a central shaft (circular or square) and a helix plate(s). The helix plates are press-formed with a predetermined pitch to resemble a screw are welded to the shaft. They are fabricated in various sizes and configurations to meet different types of loading and logistical requirements. The size and configuration of a helical pile is based on the design load the pile will carry, the existing soil conditions, the corrosiveness of the existing soils and the service life of the structure.
The load is transferred from the shaft to the helix plate(s) which is driven below grade into the strongest possible soil conditions. The helical pile is “screwed” into the ground by a high torque/low speed hydraulic drive motor which can be attached to numerous types of equipment including an excavator, skid steer, etc. Helical piles are unaffected by the presence of a high water table and caving soil conditions.
BENEFITS OF USING HELICAL PILES
Helical piles are cost effective when compared to other systems
Eliminate concrete curing time and formwork
No mess. No excess soil produced during installation
Small installation equipment allows helical piles to be installed in areas with limited access
High loading capacities. A single pile can support up to 100 tons
Can be installed all year around in all weather conditions
Minimizes disturbance in environmentally sensitive areas
