APPLICATION AND USES OF HELICAL PIERS AND ANCHORS
A helical pier is a deep foundation. Its purpose is to transfer a structural load to deeper, stronger, and less compressible materials bypassing any weaker and more compressible materials that would be unsuitable for the support of a conventional shallow foundation. As a deep foundation, a helical pier should be considered for most applications that would call for a driven pile, drilled pier, or mini pile.
- Breakwall reinforcement
- Gridwork for towers
- Underpinning commercial buiding
- New foundations 40-100 ton capacity
- Boardwalk
Uses of helical piers include the support of new structures and the underpinning of existing structures that have settled excessively.
Helical anchors are used for resisting upward forces, lateral forces, and overturning moments. Applications include communications towers, advertising signs, silos, below-grade tanks subjected to hydrostatic uplift, and tie-back anchors for both permanent and temporary earth-retaining structures.
- Light pole base
- Towers
- Train bridge underpinning
- New Homes
- Retaining wall
- Installation 80 kip tie-back anchors wall stabilization
- Airport weather station
It is important to note that the uses of the helical unit continue to expand with product developments and engineering experience.
For Many Applications Helical Units May offer significant Advantages over other systems. Some of these include:
- Easy cutoffs
- No concrete-related delays
- Little or no dependence on weather
- Little or no earthwork and spoil material (a particular advantage at contaminated sites)
- Minimal vibration noise
- Easy removed and reused in temporary applications
- Wide range of allowable loads
- Adaptability to a variety of installation angles
- Lower cost than driven or drilled piles – do not go as deep to reach the same capacity
- Ease and speed of installation
- Minimal support equipment
- Suitability for low-headroom and other limited-access areas
- Eco-Sensitive installation
- 300 Ton capacities
- Tie-back anchor installation with difficult access
- Difficult-to-access and low clearance pharmaceutical structures
Pipe Shafts have the following advantages over square shafts:
