Helical Piles

Services Commercial Helical Piles

Manufactured steel foundation systems that consist of a central shaft with one or more helix shaped bearings plates with an axial position parallel to its shaft make up a helical pile. Brackets and an extension shaft can be used to extend the pile so it can be attached to a competent load bearing soil as well as achieve the required depth and capacity. These deep foundation solutions are the go-to option when space and soil conditions prevent excavation as helical piles simply thread into the ground.

Helical piles have been used for foundation repair applications since the 1830’s in England. They were used as moorings and to stabilize foundations of lighthouses. Now, helical piles are included in the International Building code because of their versatility in both their product materials and installation.

Typical uses for helical piles include tiebacks, retrofitting underpinning, new construction, foundation stabilization, and foundation repair. Helical piles have many residential and commercial uses, specifically when the foundation repair calls for caissons, driven piles, or mini piles. When foundations have been exposed moisture repeatedly, the soil has been deemed unstable, or the overall construction has been determined unfit.

My name is Brian Hunt. I am the current resident of [address removed] Eastwood Trl. Before renting this home, we lived next doorat [address removed] Eastwood Trl for 8 months. Although the process has been noisy, I am writing today to speak on the hard work and professionalism of the crew, in particular, the foreman, Chaz. I used to work with a contractor and have done a lot of manual labor. I know how demanding the work can be. The fact that Chaz and his crew take time out of each day to greet my fiance and that goes a long way. They also address us as sir and ma'am, showing professionalism you don't see enough of these days. The crew works their tails off to the point of exhaustion and i just felt inclined to show my appreciation of their hard work. As a business owner, i would want to know how my employees are doing and I think you should know you have a great employee in Chaz. he is very thorough and today as a crew is cleaning up, I have seen him walk around the house numerous times checking to ensure that each and every aspect of the job has been thoroughly cleaned. My fiance and i own multiple businesses and most often work from home. You can imagine that the constant noise, even from the beginning of the job when we resided next door, has been difficult to deal with. Chaz went out of his way to change locations and worked with our schedule to reduce noise in certain areas of the house, so we could write emails and make phone calls. He would also contact me to ask when it was all right to come in and take pictures as well as communicate to me when he would need our cars out of the garage/driveway. He is a true asset and a man i would certainly hire myself. Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time in order to verify this email and know that as my fiance and I are looking to buy a home in the area, we will keep your company in mind if we find ourselves in need of this type of work.
