Advantages of using helical piles

EASY INSTALLATION

One of the greatest advantages of using helical piles is that it requires a small crew and no specialized machinery for installation. Also, a helical pile can be drilled at a rate of about 10 feet every five minutes. Therefore it is an extremely fast process.

COST EFFECTIVE

Helical piles are also very cheap to manufacture, transport, and install. Also, they don’t require any costly upkeep like a concrete pile. A Helical pile can also be reused for some repair works of the foundation for other sites.

FUNCTIONAL IN POOR SOIL

One of the advantages of using Helical piles is that they are designed in such a manner that it allows them to compress the existing soil and apply tension to it, which allows the pile to fix itself into place making them suitable for usage for locations where soil quality is bad.

MINIMAL IMPACT

Since Helical piles don’t require much space, manpower or machinery so they produce less unwanted impact to a worksite and the environment. They don’t even require the removal soil therefore the wastage of soil is also minimised.

LOAD BEARING

Helical piles have a wide range of load-bearing capacity. Helical piles can handle upto 500 tons of weight.
