The SCI have carried out a comprehensive assessment of the technical literature relating to the Chance Helical Piling System. As a result of the assessment the Chance Technical Design Manual for helical piling has been granted the 'SCI Assessed" status. The assessment includes the design, installation and testing of the piling system.

ver the last decade, drilled and postgrouted micropile foundations have come to be increasingly relied on for resisting seismic loads in building foundations on the West Coast. Micropiles have been successfully deployed in a range of soil conditions, in vertical as well as battered configurations, to support a variety of structural systems on difficult soils.

Helical piers are installed by mechanically “screwing” them into the soil using small construction equipment or handheld equipment. Helical piers install easily on older or weaker structures and can be used for pre-construction or new construction bearing systems in poor soils.

The use of micropiles has grown significantly since their conception in the 1950s, and in particular, since the mid-1980s. Micropiles have been used mainly as elements for foundation support to resist static and seismic loading conditions, and as in-situ reinforcements for slope and excavation stability.

The helical pile or anchor is a deep foundation system used to support or resist loads in tension or compression, whichever is desired. The piles are installed utilizing equipment ranging from large excavators to lightweight handheld equipment. The video displays a Compression Chance® Helical Pier Installation performed by EBS.
