Benefits of Using Helical Anchors

Helical anchors are ideal for applications where there is a need to resist a tension or compressive force or both. Helical anchors have many advantages and are the best solution for foundation repair due to many factors such as:

  • Ease of installation
  • Little to no vibration
  • Immediate load transfer
  • Easily load tested to verify the capacity
  • Installs below active soils
  • Can be installed in all weather condition
  • Little to no disturbance to the job site

A helical pier is a steel shaft, similar to a large screw often used when challenging soil conditions are present. They transfer the load of the structure through the unsuitable soil to a stronger, more suitable soil deeper into the ground. Instead of requiring large excavation work, they thread into the ground, minimizing installation time and requiring little soil disturbance. Most importantly, the weight of the structure is transferred to load-bearing soil.

When are Helical Anchors Used?

Helical anchors are used when a foundation needs additional support because the soil beneath it can no longer provide adequate stability. They are commonly recommended for homes and commercial buildings experiencing foundation settlement, but they can also support lighter structures such as porches, decks, stoops, and room additions. Because helical anchors are installed deep below unstable soil into stronger, load-bearing layers, they provide a long-lasting solution for stabilizing structures while minimizing excavation and disruption to the property.
