Helical Piers are suitable for many soil conditions, having design capacities ranging from a few thousand pounds to over 100 tons. Helical Piers can be installed with overhead clearances as little as 3 feet in some cases, making the technology a cost effective solution for retrofit construction. Installation can take place in little as one hour after a crew arrives on site, allowing rapid, cost effective mobilizations.

Helical Piles can be a cost effective alternative to timber piles, steel piles, drilled mini-piles, PIF's (Franki Piles), and caissons. Essentially vibration free, Helical Piles avoid costly and time consuming foundation surveys and litigation associated with vibration damaged foundations. Helical piles are especially useful in contaminated soils, as there are no spoils created during the installations
