  1. What Are Helical Piers? A Look at the Purpose of Them for Commercial & Residential Structures Presented By:TELLA FIRMAFoundations

  2. Whether you’re in commercial construction, an architect, or a homeowner, you know that building any kind of structure requires a strong and stable foundation. A common solution is the use of helical piles.

  3. What Are Helical Piles and Helical Piers? •  Often the two terms are interchangeable and refer to the exact, same product. The only difference is the size and materials used. • Helical piles are commonly made of concrete, long steel, or wood while piers include materials like concrete/masonry.

  4. What is The Purpose of Helical Piles? • Helical piers are highly effective when dealing with challenging soil conditions. • They are also used for repairing weak foundations to building new structures or stabilizing existing foundations that will be taking on heavier loads.

  5. How do Helical Piles and Helical Piers Work? • During the installation process, a hydraulic drill motor is attached to an excavator, screwing the piles/piers into the ground at varying depths. • The depth is ultimately determined by the size, shape, and build of the structure.

  6. What Are They Made of and How Long Do They Last? • Helical piers are made of galvanized steel and concrete in a variety of sizes. • Generally, piles are expected to last around 150 years.

  7. Foundations with helical piers and piles are an effective way to ensure the foundation is adequately reinforced. Whether they’re being used in a residential or commercial capacity, their long life spans and proven efficacy make them a popular choice.
