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

Thank you Jay Silver

UPDATE.. I received a call from Jay Silver (Helicon owner) 2 weeks ago. He was following up with me regarding the piers that were replaced last year. I was very pleasantly surprised to receive this call.
I had been planning to call Helicon but didn't get around to it.
I voiced some concerns about some areas in my back patio. None of the initial exterior cracks have reappeared, great news.
Mr. Silver; upon hearing my concern. immediately said he would schedule the structional engineer..wow
that's great customer service..

UPDATE......2024 January.
Helicon, after report findings from their Structural engineer..agreed to replace 5 helical piers with push piers. Felix and his crew completed the job. They actually explained everything as they were working.
A great team Felix!
There are still 6 original helical piers in place....am I 100% confident about them??
Only time will tell...that is why I will not update my original rating just yet. We will continue to monitor for the next few months.

5/5/26 We hired Helicon to lift a small portion of our sagging pool deck and also stabilize some other areas. My foreman Rey and his crew out of Tampa (DJ and Ajay) were very professional and a joy to work with. All the work was prepped and ready for injection when the generator failed. Rey quickly made some calls and set a plan in place. He called in support from a co-worker down south of us who arrived in an hour and they completed the work in no time. I was very impressed with their leadership and team work when completing the job. Truly a joy to see youth so positive and energized about the work they do. They showed a very positive attitude for the company and the work they do. Truly enjoyed the experience. I also would like to give a shout out to the Manny who came up from Cape Coral, Fl to support the team. Great job Helicon. Will highly recommend your services.
