Strengthen Your Foundation With Helical Piers
What Are Helical Piers?
Shape and Structure If you've ever witnessed a post-hole digger on a tractor, envision that design, and you're already familiar with the helical pier's appearance. Also recognized as anchors or piles, helical piers constitute an extendable deep foundation system. The key features include helical bearing plates intricately welded to a central steel shaft.
Load Transfer Mechanism The genius of helical piers lies in their ability to transfer the load seamlessly. The bearing plates, strategically designed, facilitate the efficient transfer of the load from the central shaft to the surrounding soil. This ensures a robust foundation that stands the test of time.
How Do Helical Piers Support Your Foundation?
Corkscrew Installation Think of helical piers as giant corkscrews that elegantly penetrate the ground. The installation process involves turning the pier into the soil until it reaches the desired depth and resistance (torque). Once achieved, the pier is expertly bracketed to the center of your foundation wall.
Weight Distribution Mastery The strategic bracketing isn't just for show—it's a masterstroke in weight distribution. By anchoring the pier to the foundation wall, we effectively move the weight of your home far below the foundation. This ingenious technique ensures stability even in active, shifting soil zones.
