Helical Piers

A helical pier is a steel made foundation pin that consists of helices. It is screwed into the soil, It is used to support the structures where the soil conditions are not normal and it is also used to repair the existing structure’s foundation that have been damaged and has cracks and have become weak.

There are various benefits of using helical piers. Some of them are as follows:

It is easy to install and remove
It can be installed easily in any soil condition
It reduces foundation costs
It does not require excess soil
The installation process is very easy

There are various factors involved while deciding the cost of helical piers. Those factors are:

Site location
Type of structure
Type of job(repair or new structure)
Condition of foundation
Depth of pile installation
For more details contact Helical Piers Minnesota as we are a helical pier manufacturing unit located at Minneapolis. We have the most affordable helical piers available for you.

Helical piers are installed before pouring the foundation or the soil foundation has been damaged. Helical piers are screwed into the soil and depending upon the location they are attached to the pre-existing foundation with brackets or screws. After the helical piers are installed the foundation is safe and is ready to combat any future damage due to compression and tension.

The number of helical piers that you require depends upon the following factors:
1)Recommended distance between the piles
2)The type of structure
We at Helical Anchors Inc are capable of making custom orders for any size and requirement. We are a helical pier manufacturing unit situated at Minneapolis USA. With our inhouse technology, we ensure helical piers cost to go down when compared to the competition

Helical piers are used for both residential and industrial applications. They are also very useful when there is structural damage in the foundation of the structure or when the soil conditions are not normal. Helical pier for decks Mn is also used in the foundation for decks.

1. Screw the helical piers into the soil up to the predetermined load capacity.
2. Separate the helical piers at predetermined intervals to share the weight of the structure.
3. For foundation repair works, attach the brackets to the base of the wall so that the weight is transferred to the anchor.
4. Install the helical piers to a height below the ground level where they meet the required torque.

Many contractors think that helical piles are way too expensive but there are various factors involved while deciding the cost of helical piers. Those factors are:

Site location
Type of structure
Type of job(repair or new structure)
Condition of foundation
Depth of pile installation

Helical Piers can be a good option if you want to carry out these things:

1. If you want to lift the structure back to its original position
2. If you want to stabilize lighter structures like decks and stoops that have settled
3. If you aim to restore the value of your property

Depending on the surrounding conditions and the use of helical piers, it can hold upto 500 tons of weight comfortably.

As per a general regulation helical piers are generally spaced 3 to 4 diameters on centre. The general spacing between helical piles is 5ft – 10ft.

To prevent rusting Helical piers are made from galvanized steel. Depending upon the solid conditions they may last up to 100 years or even more.

To avoid frost damage Screw piles placed 3 metres deep.

It’s a common misconception that Screw piles are expensive but the truth is that they are way cheaper than the traditional concrete piles.

Pier support should be installed at every location when the direction of the wall changes. There should be minimum one piling support at every corner.

First install the Screw piers into the soil up to the predetermined load capacity. Now Separate the screw piers at predetermined intervals to share the weight of the structure.  For foundation repair works, attach the brackets to the base of the wall so that the weight is transferred to the piers and then install the Screw piers to a height below the ground level where they meet the required torque. This leaves the surrounding earth pressed firmly against the pier holding it stable.

Steel piers are better than concrete piers because they can be installed deep than the concrete piers. They can be driven deeply into the soil more easily than the concrete pier. SInce they are driven deeply therefore the support provided by them is also strong.

A helical pier is a steel shaft that has round helixes and is used to provide support and strength to different structures.

The initial investment for the concrete slab is less expensive but the maintenance cost and repairing cost is high which makes it an expensive choice in the long run.

Concrete piers don’t last long. Depending on the quality of material they can do the temporary job but they won’t last long so it’s better to go with the screw piers.

Generally an 8 ft x 12 ft shed will need 6 piers, 3 pier for each long side.

To prevent rusting Helical piers are made from galvanized steel. Depending upon the solid conditions they may last up to 100 years or even more.

There are various factors involved while deciding the cost of helical piers. Those factors are:

Site location
Type of structure
Type of job(repair or new structure)
Condition of foundation
Depth of pile installation

Buying a house or structure that has foundation repairs can be a good choice. You can get it repaired once and the strength of your foundation will last long enough to ensure your safety in future.

In many cases we can put the screw piles by hand or in case of bigger projects we can also use a hand machine to finish the job.

Screw piles are an excellent choice for protecting your structure’s foundation. Screw piles are way better than the concrete pier.

A concrete pile is a long cylindrical structure made up of concrete that is installed into the ground to provide strength to the foundation of the structure.

Screw piles are made up of galvanized steel which prevents rusting.

Yes foundation piers play an important role in protecting the strength of the foundation.

Generally Piers are driven 3 metres deep to avoid frost damage.

Bored pier is  a non-displacement pile formed in cohesive ground conditions where an auger and soil column may be extracted from the drilled hole without  any collapse, allowing reinforcement to be driven into the hole and concrete to be installed in to complete the pile.

Ground screws are used to install posts or fences into ground. They are used in applications that require strong upside support.

You can build a house on a concrete pier but a screw pier is a much better option as it provides greater strength to the foundation and also it is long lasting.

A Push pier is used to protect the foundation of any structure or building.

Generally Slab foundations have low one time investment but they have high maintenance and repair cost which makes them costly in the long run and also their life span is less than the screw piers.

Pier and beam foundation are much better than the slab foundation. They are long lasting and also provide greater strength to the foundation.

Steel Pier is the best foundation repair method. The introduction of steel pier has revolutionized the foundation repair process.

Foundation damage can reduce the value of your property significantly therefore it’s a good choice to get the foundation repaired to maintain the value of the property.

Blocks and piers are extremely useful when it comes to increasing the strength of the foundation and piers also have a good life span therefore they can  be thought of as a permanent foundation.

Depending upon the foundation work needed a foundation repair can take from 2 to 5 days.

The main reason that causes the foundation to sink is soil and weather. Large volumes of water can weaken the soil and cause the foundation to sink.

If the foundation damage is not repaired and the damage keeps on increasing then it may cause the foundation to become very weak and in the worst case scenario the house can even fall off its foundation.

A friction pile is a pile foundation that utilizes the frictional resistance force between the pile surface and adjacent soil to transfer the superstructural load.

A helical anchor/pile is an extendable deep foundation system that has helical bearing plates welded to a central steel shaft. They are used in the Tension applications.

Drilled pier foundations are the best foundation repair for clay soil as they provide the required strength and support to the foundation. It can be driven deep inside the soil where moisture content is low therefore  it provides better stability.

The foundation  of the building should be on strong and stable soil. Clay texture is more stable than sand texture  because they have a better structure. 

Clay is perfect for foundation but the problem is that the moisture content should be in control otherwise it will have adverse effects.

While choosing the right foundation certain factors should be kept in mind like:
Surrounding area
Soil changes
Quality

The footing is a type of shallow foundation. Foundation can be both shallow and deep as per the requirement. Footing includes slab, rebar which are fabricated of brickwork, masonry or concrete. Foundation types include piles, caissons, footings, piers, the lateral supports, and anchors.
