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

Helicon was professional from the original assessment to the day of the repair. Jan was the foreman and he made sure to explain everything. He then completed a walk thru to make sure all issues were addressed.

We highly recommend Helicon! Doug came out and inspected our seawall issues as a result of soil erosion and worked with us on proposal options that we could afford to eliminate further soil erosion, fixing the seawall caps that were sinking and to install new wall jet filters. We were able to schedule the work to begin within a week of signing the contract. Bryse and his crew arrived first and worked 2 full days on soil stabilization. They were followed by John and Alberto who worked miracles on realigning our sea wall cap that had numerous issues. We were so impressed by these two crews; they were professional, hard-working, polite and knowledgeable putting our minds at ease. Our jet filters will be installed next and we are confident that it will be completed as expected. Thank you Helicon, we are relieved to be going into the next hurricane season fully prepared!

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.

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.
