How Does a Helical Pier System Work?

Helical piers (also known as helical anchors, helical piles, and screw piles) are steel shafts with a helical cross-section creating a similar design to the threading on a screw.

Helical piles are installed with hydraulic power directly into the ground (similar to drilling a screw into a surface). They are used for foundation problems due to unstable soil. They are also used to stabilize new construction. Our helical piles come in a variety of diameters to suit any application.
