Helical Pile Installation Service in Gainesville

Engineers and contractors have few repair options when foundation issues at a property are severe. Fortunately, one of those solutions is helical piles, prefabricated steel anchors that stabilize a structure long-term. Helical piles are appealing because not only are they durable and affordable, but installation is quick.

At Ram Jack Solid Foundations - Gainesville, our certified helical pile installation specialists in Gainesville require very few resources to get the job done correctly. We use advanced equipment such as hydraulic machinery that comes in various sizes depending on the extent of the job.

Differences Between Helical Piles and Driven Piles

Both helical piles and driven piles are premade steel piers used to stabilize load-bearing structures by anchoring them into adequate soil. The main difference between the two is that helical piles are screwed through topsoil, while driven piles are installed by hammering, pushing, or vibrating the product into the ground. Because helical piles have spiraling blades along the shaft, they can be deeply installed into the foundation and support extremely heavy loads. Moreover, both helical piles and driven piles are installed so deeply into the soil that corrosion is rarely an issue. They can sustain various climates and be installed in even freezing temperatures.
