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. They are created with a steel shaft and corkscrew-like end and are used to transfer loads from the soil near surface to deeper, more suitable load bearing stratum. Helical Piers can successfully support structures in most soil conditions, and can be used for stabilizing foundations, as well as in seismic protection, and structure anchoring. They have been in use for the stabilization of foundations since the early 1800′s.
