Helical Piers

Transfer the Weight of Your Structure to Deep Soils

Helical piers are engineered steel shafts with screw-like helical plates designed to stabilize and support foundations. By advancing the piers deep into stable soil or bedrock, Helicon ensures your foundation load is transferred away from weak surface soils and onto solid, load-bearing strata.

What are Helical Piers?

Helical piers (also known as helical piles or screw anchors) are advanced foundation elements designed to secure structures built on unstable soil. Each pier consists of a steel shaft with helical plates welded near the tip, allowing it to be hydraulically “screwed” deep into the ground.

Once advanced to the proper depth and torque, the piers are attached to the foundation with heavy-duty steel brackets. This process creates a secure connection that transfers the weight of the structure onto stable soil or bedrock, providing immediate load-bearing capacity.

How Helicon’s Helical Pier System Works

  • Brackets are mounted at strategic points beneath the foundation
  • Helical piers are rotated deep into stable strata using hydraulic equipment
  • The system locks into place as the piers achieve the required depth and torque resistance
  • Foundations may be gently lifted and permanently secured

First, David our sales consultant was very patient and helpful. He did not sell me anything I didn't need. I had to delay the work till the new year which delayed it 3-4 months and when I reached back out to David, he was very accommodating and kept the same price for the work. Felix and the crew arrived on the start day and talked to me about the job before they started, to help me understand what they were going to do. I have no experience with this kind of work but it very impressive driving these helicon piles down 15ft to fix my retaining pool wall. they also talked me thru each step so I was comfortable. I've had a problem with this pool retaining wall for a long time and I believe it is now fixed and definitely will never move again. The second crew arrived on day 2 to do the injection chemicals to stabilize any soil movement and they also talked me thru the process and were very careful as I told them about the water pipes under the pavers. These folks handled this job very well and have a lot of experience which was on display. They also left the site same as they found it. It has a lifetime warranty and is transferable if I ever sell my house so that's nice. I do believe, if I ever need to call them about warranty in the future, they will happily come back.
This was a very good experience.

We've worked with the pros at Helicon for several years. They are actively engaged with us on the ongoing maintenance of our seawall which is critical to our condominium community as we are bordered by water on 3 sides. The Helicon process has worked well in repairing areas where cracks and leaks developed. Helicon has been very responsive following hurricane damage to quickly address any new areas of concern. They are a terrific company to work with. We highly recommend them.

This is the second time we have used Helicon. The men explained what they were going to do, then at a certain point showed me the work done, then when finished showed and explained the finished job. Job well done.
