Applications of Helical Piles

A helical pier is a deep foundation. Its purpose is to transfer a structural load to deeper, stronger, and less compressible materials bypassing any weaker and more compressible materials that would be unsuitable for the support of a conventional shallow foundation.

As a deep foundation, a helical pier should be considered for most applications that would call for a driven pile, drilled pier, or mini pile.

Helical piles and anchors are usually a great foundation solution to any of the applications below whether it's a new build or existing structure.
