A Helical Pile is a deep foundation solution suitable for supporting light and heavy structures. They are engineered to support compressive loads less than 1kN (225 lb.) or in excess of 5,000kN (1.125 million lb.) – from a small landing to a 32-story tower, helical piles are an option. Another common name for helical piles is “screw piles”.

Helical piles displace very little soil, which is a particular advantage at contaminated sites. There is little or no requirement for removal of excess soil.
Advantages of Helical Piles
There are significant benefits from a structural and design perspective:
- Suitability For Low Headroom & Other Limited-Access Areas.
- Helical piles can be fabricated and installed in modular systems to accommodate space restrictions and low headroom.
- Wide Range of Allowable Loads
- With four types of helical piles to choose from, there are efficient options for small loads of 100 kN (25 kips) up to large loads of 2500 kN (560 kips) or more.
- Adaptable To Different Installations Angles
- Can be placed at an angle in order to avoid interfering with structures overhead. They can even be installed horizontally for earth retaining projects.
- Removable & Reusable
- Can be placed at an angle in order to avoid interfering with structures overhead. They can even be installed horizontally for earth retaining projects.
- Lower Cost Than Driven or Drilled Piles.
- Because screw piles are simpler and faster to install there are cost savings for labor and equipment.
- Ease & Speed of Installation
- Can usually be installed by two people using conventional equipment.
- Little Or No Dependence on Weather
- Can be installed in almost any weather condition.
- Minimal Disruptions
- Can be installed with much less noise and vibration than conventionally driven piles.
- Little Or No Earthwork & Spoil Material
