Helical piers (also called screw piles or helical piles) are deep foundation elements that are twisted into the ground like a giant screw. They provide strong, stable support for structures built on poor or shifting soils.
Unlike concrete footings, they can be installed quickly with minimal disturbance and do not require curing time.
Helical piers are a clean, code-compliant, and fast alternative to traditional concrete footings — and can be used with or without concrete, depending on the needs of your project.
Helical piers are both versatile and dependable, offering structural strength with far less disruption to your land.
Benefits Of Helical Piers
Efficient Installation: Helical pier installation lasts hours, and lack of curing means building can begin immediately.
Eliminates Concrete: Helical piers require no curing, forming, or pouring, meaning structures are buildable on top.
Environmentally Conscious: Helical piers also eliminate excavation, concrete runoff, and soil disposal.
Hybrid Function: Helical piers complement concrete pads, slabs, or stem walls to provide additional support.
Load Verification: Helical pier installation involves torque measurements to meets structural requirements.
Minimal Disturbance: Helical Pier installation is conducted with precision to protect sensitive environments.
Outperforms Concrete: Helical piers perform in frost zones, soft soils, steep slopes, and tight-access areas.
Helical piers are a highly versatile foundation solution used in agricultural, commercial, and residential projects. They are especially valuable in environmentally sensitive areas — where traditional concrete footings are costly, disruptive, and expensive — as well as in sloped terrain and soft soils.
Whether you are building a new structure or stabilizing an existing one, helical piers provide low-impact and long-lasting support. Their efficiency translates into efficacy — and they are ideal wherever speed, stability, and sustentation matter most.
As CHANCE® Trained Installers, we follow an engineered and precise process to ensure every pier meets strict performance and safety standards. Helical piles are not just drilled into the ground — they are monitored in real time during installation using torque readings, which directly correlate to load-bearing capacity. This ensures that each pier reaches the proper depth and resistance before the drive is complete.
Our installations exceed the nationally recognized ICC-ES AC358 standard for helical pile systems, which governs everything from allowable soil conditions to capacity testing. The result is a foundation system that is more effective, efficient, and economical than traditional footings — and one that you can build on immediately after installation.
Application Of Helical Piers
Additions, Mobile Homes: Strong support for retrofits or structures — no disturbance to existing foundations.
Boardwalks, Retaining Walls, Stairs: Stable support for projects near water, or wet ground — no excavation needed.
Cabins, Pole Barns, Sheds: Fast foundations with minimal equipment required — perfect for remote locations.
Decks, Patios, Porches: Solid support installed in hours — no concrete, no curing time.
Flag Pole, Lighting Structures, Solar Panel Racking: Resilient resistance to uplift forces — ideal for vertical installations.
Foundation Repairs, Underpinning: Seamless structures for settling foundations — often, no demolition.
Light Commercial, Infrastructure Projects: Cost-effective choice for builds that require torque-verified support.
New Construction Foundations: Capitalized load-bearing capacity that staves off future settling in poor soil conditions.
Pedestrian Bridges & Public Trail Systems: Low-impact inductions — ideal for parks, paths, riparian zones, wetlands.
As a CHANCE® Trained Installer, Box L Enterprises offers helical pier systems backed by a 30-year limited manufacturer warranty — one of the strongest guarantees in the foundation industry.
