PRODUCT CODE

Helical Piles and Anchors are readily available for all pile sizes in lengths of 1’ to 24’ in length, helix diameters ranging from 6” to 48” in diameter and 3/8” to 1 ½” in thickness.
  •  Available helix quantities are typically one or more per lead section.
  • Customized pipe diameter, thickness, length, helix size and configuration are readily available       

 
Round Shaft Extension
Round shaft extensions are readily available for all pile sizes ranging from 2 7/8” to 10 3/4” diameter and 1’ in 24’ in length. Customized pipe diameter, thickness, length, and configuration are also available.
 
Round Shaft Flighted Extension
Round shaft flighted extensions are readily available for all pile sizes ranging from 2 7/8” to 10 3/4” diameter and 1’ in 24’ in length. Typical helix diameters range from 6” to 48” in diameter and 3/8” to 1 ½” in thickness.
 
Increased diameter leads and extensions
Round shaft increased diameter leads and extensions are readily available and in almost any configuration for all pile sizes ranging from 2 7/8" to 10 3/4" diameter and 1' in 24' in length.  Typical helix diameters range from 6" to 48" in diameter and 3/8" to 1 1/2" in thickness.
 
Helical brackets and accessories
 
Truforce underpinning assembly
This underpinning bracket was designed for lighter structures. It is available for both the 2 7/8” and 3 ½” piles and is capable of design loads up to 30 and 40 kips respectively. It is available in standard, drop-neck or low-pro configurations.
 
Counterforce underpinning assembly
This patent pending, underpinning bracket was designed for heavier structures and is the only bracket in the industry with the unique capability to effectively resist the overturning forces when a load is applied. While most brackets will tend to pull away from the foundation during loading - this bracket actually pulls into the foundation! It is available for piles ranging from 27/8” to 10 ¾” and is capable of design loads of 40 to 260 kips respectively. It is available in standard, drop-neck or low-pro configurations.
 
Counterforce 2 Assembly
This bracket has been proven to improve Counterforce underpinning bracket performance by over 30%
 
Boardwalk Bracket
This bracket is available as the industry standard ‘stationary bracket’ or our patent pending, fully adjustable, rotator bracket which was designed to give the installer the ability to be more precise when connecting the pile to the header system. This bracket moves up and down, 360 degrees, slides back and forth and even tilts up to 13 degrees of angle! The standard stationary bracket is available for piles ranging from 27/8” to 10 ¾” while the adjustable bracket is currently available for the 2 7/8” and 3 ½” piles.
 
New Construction Pile Cap
The New Construction Pile Capbracket is typically used for preconstruction applications. It is normally square or round steel plate atop a pile coupler; however, we can supply any shape or configuration with unique attachments such as thread bar, weld-able rebar and adjustable hardware. These brackets are available for piles ranging from 27/8” to 10 ¾” and are capable of design loads of 40 to 260 kips respectively.
  Slab jacking assemblies
These brackets are designed for the lifting and/or stabilizing of existing slabs and are available for almost any pile size and in any configuration.
  Anchoring assemblies
The u-shaped and coupler style adapters are utilized for bulkheading, retaining walls and guy wiring as well as other various applications.  
  Resistance (push pier) piles
This system is viewed mostly as an economical alternative the helical piling system. We provide a full line of resistance piles, brackets and equipment which is available in all sizes and configurations.
 
Wall anchoring system
Designed using the sturdiest materials available and the largest earth anchors and wall plates on the market, this system is by far the strongest in its field.The IDEAL rod transfers the load to the entire plate/wall with the patent pending Secondary Load Plate design.
  Lighting and sign pole foundations
This system has proven to be an excellent time saver for those in the utility market by providing them with the option to install the sign or light post the same day that the foundation is installed.
 
Installation equipment, tools and parts
IDEAL is usually the contractor’s choice when it comes to needing installation equipment. We supply everything you’ll need to install any of our systems and we carry all the leading equipment brands.
