CONCEPTUAL SYSTEM / PROJECT-SPECIFIC ENGINEERING REQUIREDThe problem
Near-surface soils may not provide reliable capacity for an existing or planned load.
The system
Steel helical elements are advanced to a target depth or installation criterion, then connected to the structure through an engineered bracket or cap.

Frequently asked
Clear answers.
No shortcuts.
What determines capacity?＋
Product configuration, soil response, installation data and project-specific engineering all matter.
Can helical piers be used for additions?＋
Often, when site conditions and design requirements make a deep foundation appropriate.
Is excavation required?＋
Localized access is typical; extent varies by footing, bracket, equipment and project conditions.
