Helical piers are driven into the ground by an excavator or skid steer. A rotating drive motor screws the pier into the ground until the desired torque is achieved.
Depth of the helical pier is determined by soil conditions and load capacity.
A variety of caps are available for helical piles, each specialized for the type of structure it is required to support.
For foundation repair, a specialized bracket is attached to footing or foundation of the building. This allows for stabilization or lifting of the foundation.
