Helical Piers

Installer-Friendly Helical Piers
Our helical piers were designed with the working contractor in mind. SafeBasements™ Helical Piers can be installed in all weather conditions, and installation is easier due to only needing small equipment for install. They install without costly and messy excavation, and allow concrete to be poured immediately after being placed in the ground.

If you have a building that is unstable, or located in a windy area, helical piers are the answer. Helical piers help support the weight of heavy commercial columns and wall loads. These work by being “screwed” into the ground, to the appropriate depths of hard bedrock or stable soil, then being bolted or molded into the structures foundation with concrete. This will allow the weight of the structure to be transferred from unstable or weak soil, to stable soil or bedrock. Helical piers can also be used to anchor buildings or structures to the ground.
