Helical piers are anchors that are attached to a foundation to provide stability in less than favorable soil conditions. They can be used to repair an existing condition or can be installed prior to construction to provide a stable, unsettling foundation on which to build. Benefits of helical pier include:
- Can be installed in limited access areas and/or directly adjacent to existing structures
- Installed to depth with little noise and no vibration (unlike driven piles)
- Installed below ground level and are unseen following completion
- A small excavator is utilized for installation
- Lift/restore a small area of settled foundation or provide support for entire structure
- A long-term, versatile solution
- Firstech Environmental is Chance™ Certified
- 30-year Chance™ warranty (best in industry!)
Helical piers are not only used to repair existing problems, but can also be installed as a preventative measure. A new structure sitting on compromised soil can benefit from helical piers for increased stability.
