What Is A Helical Pile And How Does It Work?
This nearly two-century old foundation is taking the construction world by storm as it unlocks speed and economy not possible with traditional concrete solutions
Components Of A Helical Pile
It may not look like it at first glance, but helical piles deliver incredible load capacities in a streamlined package that outperforms other foundations
Pile Cap
The pile cap connects a helical pile to your structure. They come in a variety of designs to suit any project.
Pile Shaft
A sturdy steel pipe forms the body of a helical pile and transfers loads down to the helix plates
Helix Plates
These specially-formed plates are the magic behind a helical pile. Their shape helps turn the pile into the ground and anchor in firm soil
Pilot Point
In order to accurately and cleanly penetrate dense ground, a slant-cut pilot point gives us power and precision
Benefits To A Helical Pile Foundation
Why would you want to use helical piles instead of concrete or driven foundations in Central New York? There's a bundle of good reasons, here's some of the big ones
Fast And Efficient
Because helical piles smoothly turn into the ground at a constant rate with minimal equipment, they can be installed significantly faster than concrete
No Ground Disturbance
A typical concrete foundation demands a lot of excavation and disturbance to install. A helical pile needs no excavations and creates zero soil displacement, a clean solution
Built For New York Soils
We see a huge variety of soil conditions in Central New York, from loose shifting sand to hard-packed clay. Helical piles provide consistent support in virtually any soil condition
Replaces Concrete
You can completely eliminate your need for a deep concrete foundation by switching to helical piles. They replace concrete and offer the same support in a much smaller package
Environmentally Friendly
Helical piles are made from 100% steel and require vastly less raw material than concrete. They emit fewer emissions, create zero site disturbance, and can be easily removed in the future.
Engineer-Approved
First invented in the 1830's, helical piles are widely-used and approved by engineers for residential and commercial projects. In fact, there's a high-rise in New York City built on helical piles!

What structures can I put on a helical pile foundation?

On the whole, a helical pile foundation is often more efficient and economical to install.
Concrete foundations often require fairly extensive excavation to prepare the ground. Then you need to bring in bulky equipment like mixing trucks, pumps, and more. Finally, you have to worry problems like excessive ground water or unexpected weather delaying the pour or cure time.
Driven steel piles may not require excavation like concrete does, but they still come with their challenges. They create vibrations and noise during installation, you still need bulky equipment, and they may need to be driven to great depths in order to achieve the proper support.
Helical piles, by comparison, have none of these problems. Instead of pouring concrete or pounding piles, we use a quiet hydraulic motor attached to an excavator to smoothly turn them down into the ground. Kind of like a massive screw into wood! The wide helix plates anchor firmly in the soil as the pressure exerted by the ground keeps the pile securely in place.
The result is that a helical pile installation is nearly silent, causes no disturbance, doesn't damage your ground, and still delivers incredible strength.Are helical piles a new technology?
Not at all! They were first invented in the United Kingdom by a man called Alexander Mitchell in the 1830's. They became a common foundation solution for structures in difficult soils like lighthouses, bridges, and piers. Over nearly two centuries they've been studied, developed, and improved, transforming them into the revolutionary technology you see today.
In fact, there's some structures here in the states that have been standing on helical piles for 150 years!Do engineers in New York trust helical piles?
Yes, and it's not just engineers in New York who are confident in the performance and benefits of helical pile foundations. You can find helical piles used across the entire world to support a staggering variety of structures. The technology has been extensively studied and is very well-understood by modern structural engineering.
