MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
Below Are Some Common Applications of Helcial Anchors:
Residential Foundation
Helical Piles may be used to on new construction or to fix settling foundations. Homes on slopes, near water, in areas of heavy rain fall are prone to settling. Settling is also common on homes that were constructed on poorly compacted soils. Helical piles provide a solution to settlement issues and prevent further setelment issues.
Commercial New Construction
Helical piles can be installed year round. They prove to be money and time saving solutions for commercial construction and new foundations. You can walk away from a project knowing that your structure will be free from shift or settlement. Ideal commercial applications
- Projects with contaminated soil
- Tight time frame
- Areas with high water levels
- Areas where excavation is prohibited
- Limited access spaces
Oil & Gas Industry/ Pipe Support Systems
Helical piers are ideal for oil and gas midstream operator. They are easy to install in remote locations. Able to be installed quickly and economically with little impact on the environment makes them perfect for temporary installations. Helical piles durastically cut down on installation time when compared with standard foundations. Furthermore, helical piles are removable and are thus perfect for temporary structures or equipment.
Utlility
Helical piles are frequently used in guy wire applications and self for supporting towers. They are a versatile option, work in a wide array of soil types, and can support both light and heavy loads. Helical anchors ability to bear compression and tension makes them a good option for use in the utility industry.
Deep Foundations for Swimming Pools
Helical piles are economical alternative to traditional deep foundation swimming pool support systems. This is due to:
- speed of installation,
- superior performance
- elimination of mobilization costs, vibrations and spoils that usually come with traditional piling systems.
Shoring and Earth Retention
Helical Piles are quick and easy to install, able to be used in tension applications; they can be removed easily and are thus ideal for permanent or temporary shoring. An added benefit is that there is no vibration/ pounding during installation making them a good choice for sensitive environments.
Underpining Existing Foundations
Helical piles can be used to:
- lift a structure back into position
- stabilize both heavy and light structures
- on residential or commercial foundations
- in tight spaces
Underwater/Waterfront Construction
Helical piles are and excellent choice to anchor structures underwater (control buoyancy). Being quick to install, strong and environmentally friendly, they will keep your waterfront structures up and pipe systems pinned down.
