What is a helical pile?
A helical pile is a deep foundation that can support light and heavy structures. They support compressive loads of less than 1kN (225 lb) or more than 5,000kN (1.125 million lb). This means they can be used for anything from small landings to 32-story towers. “Screw piles” is another name for helical piles.
A helical pile comprises a round steel shaft welded to one or more helical bearing blades. Several things affect how long, thick, and wide a shaft is, as well as how many, how thick, and how wide helical piles are. No matter the size, the helical’s pitch (plane or angle) should be the same. This ensures that the design and installation methods are reliable and follow generally accepted engineering guidelines.
