Understanding Helical Piles for Residential Projects

What Are Helical Piles?

Helical piles, also known as helical piers, are foundation solutions that are screwed into the ground to provide support for various structures. These piles consist of a steel shaft with a single helical blade, allowing them to be installed with minimal soil disturbance. Helical piles are a popular choice for residential construction due to their efficiency and reliability.


Key Characteristics and Benefits

Helical piles offer several key characteristics and benefits that make them ideal for residential projects:

Ease of Installation: Residential helical piles can be installed quickly without requiring extensive excavation or curing time.

Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of soil conditions and project types.

Immediate Load-Bearing Capacity: Ready to bear loads as soon as they are installed.

Minimal Site Disturbance: Causes less disruption to the surrounding environment compared to 

traditional foundation methods.

Cost-Effective: Reduces overall project costs due to quicker helical pile installation times and less labour.


Types of Residential Helical Piles

There are various types of helical piles designed for residential use, each catering to specific needs and conditions:

  • Standard Helical Piles: Used for general residential construction projects.
  • Helical Piers Residential: Tailored for residential structures requiring deep foundation support.
  • Custom Helical Piles: Designed for unique residential projects with specific requirements.
