With the many projects Helicon has performed in Mira Bay, typically 13-15 helical piers have been installed to stabilize the retaining walls throughout the development.
Helical piers were installed at selected locations along the exterior sides of the retaining walls located at the rear of the properties. Helical piers were drilled to depths ranging from 15 feet to 25 feet below ground surface. 
All operations were performed under the observation of the engineer of record. Efficient planning & coordination was key to overcoming the challenges & limitations. \n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”37″ ][cs_element_row _id=”38″ ][cs_element_column _id=”39″ ][cs_element_image _id=”40″ ][cs_element_image _id=”41″ ][cs_element_gap _id=”42″ ][/cs_element_column][cs_element_column _id=”43″ ][cs_element_image _id=”44″ ][cs_element_image _id=”45″ ][cs_element_gap _id=”46″ ][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][/cs_element_section][/cs_content]
