Helical Piles

Helical Piles/Piers have been around for decades! There use is increasingly widespread as a direct result of the versatility and cost-effectiveness of the helical foundation system. The ability to utilize helical pile foundations in both compression and tension applications makes the manufactured foundation system an attractive alternative for deep foundation construction.

Benefits of Helical Piles

Stability in Poor Soil Conditions:

Ideal for weak or unstable soils, such as clay, sand, or areas prone to flooding. They provide a strong foundation by reaching deep into stable soil layers.

Quick Installation:

Helical piles can be installed quickly without the need for extensive excavation or curing time, which reduces labor and time costs.

Easily Adjustable:

Helical piles can be adjusted or extended after installation, offering flexibility for future modifications or
extensions to the structure.

Eco-Friendly:

The reduced need for soil removal and concrete production makes it a more environmentally sustainable option.

Load-Bearing Capacity:

These piles are engineered to bear heavy loads, ensuring a secure foundation even for large or complex structures.

Cost-Effective:

Since they don’t require concrete curing and involve less site preparation, they can be more cost-effective, particularly in challenging soil conditions.

Traditional Foundation

Structures built using either concrete slab foundations, footings, or basement foundations—methods that involve substantial excavation, formwork, and concrete pouring. These foundations are designed to distribute the weight of the building evenly across the soil, providing a stable base for the structure.

Traditional Foundation Benefits

Proven Durability

Traditional foundations, particularly concrete slab or basement foundations, are well-known for their longevity and ability to support heavy structures. They provide long-lasting stability when properly installed and maintained.

Load-Bearing Capacity

These foundations are highly effective at distributing the weight of a building evenly across the ground, reducing the risk of settlement or shifting over time.

Resilience to Environmental Conditions

Concrete foundations, when reinforced properly, resist moisture and are less likely to be affected by water damage, making them ideal for areas with high rainfall or potential flooding.

Versatility

Traditional foundations can be adapted to various building types and soil conditions. They can accommodate residential, commercial, or industrial structures, making them a flexible solution for different projects.

Customization

Traditional foundations allow for more extensive customizations, such as adding basements, crawl spaces, or various utility access points, which can increase the functionality and value of the property.

Energy Efficiency:

When paired with proper insulation techniques, traditional foundations can help regulate internal temperatures, reducing heating and cooling costs.
