Helical Pile Installation by EBS Geostructural

Helical piles are an end-bearing deep foundation system that has applications in both compression and tension. By applying torque to the shaft this action installs the helical pile with minimal displacement or disturbance. No vibrations or spoils are created during installation. Loads are transferred down the shaft onto the helical plates and into the minimally disturbed load bearing soil beneath or above each helical plate. The resistance required to torque the helical pile into the soil directly correlates to its capacity - the greater the resistance (torque) the denser the soil and the higher the load carrying capabilities.
