Helical Piers The helical pier acts like a cork screw on the end of a steel shaft. The screw is rotated into the ground using a hydraulic torque head. The helical pier system is very useful for stabilizing light loaded structural members such as porch columns, wing walls, slabs, and interior floors. Heavier structures can also be supported by helical piers if soil conditions are suitable for higher bearing requirements.

Pre-Construction Piers Helical piers for new construction are good in expansive soils, high water tables, fill areas, and other areas where unstable soils require piering. A small crew with a skid steer can place a significant number of anchors each day. Use of pre-construction piers can result in significant cost savings when compared to deep overexcavation or cast inplace reinforced concrete piers.

Tieback Pier System Helical anchors can help prevent wall movement by holding the wall when soil pressure pushes against the wall. The Tieback System can be used with new construction of walls or to stabilize existing walls. Existing walls can be repaired by drilling a small hole for the helical anchor rod to be accessed through the wall. A hydraulic torque head rotates the helical anchor into the soil to a predetermined torque value. A retaining plate is set in the inside of the wall to hold the wall to the anchor system.
