Helical piles, also known as screw piles or helical anchors, are deep foundation elements used to support structures in a variety of soil conditions. Made from steel shafts with helical-shaped plates welded to them, these piles are screwed into the ground using hydraulic rotary equipment, minimizing excavation and soil disturbance. Their unique design allows for quick, vibration-free installation and immediate load-bearing capacity, making them ideal for both new construction and foundation repair projects. Helical piles are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications, especially where access is limited or soil is unstable. They offer excellent performance in tension and compression, are resistant to ground movement, and can be easily removed or reused if necessary, making them a sustainable and cost-effective foundation solution.
