Gulf Coast Helical Pile Foundations
Serving Clients Across the Entire Gulf Coast
Helical piles are an extremely popular foundation choice because they are one of the easier and less-invasive methods of installing foundation supports for a wide variety of different buildings. Helical piles are metal rods with a screw or helix blade on the end that allow it to dig its way down into the earth. They don’t constantly upturn dirt that needs to be hauled away like other types of foundations, and their generally smaller segment size means installation can be completed with a much smaller footprint.
As the pile turns, new segments are added on one at a time to lengthen the pile and allow it to push even further down. Once they reach a solid foundational material, these piles can either be left in place as-is or they can be encased in concrete for added strength and stability. And because these piles do not depend on one another for support, they can be used for a wide variety of commercial structures, including those built over aggressive and soft soil types while still providing adequate support for each section of a building.

Advantages of Helical Pile Foundations
Helical pile foundations are a great combination of strength and versatility, delivering long-term strength and stability to a wide variety of different buildings without the frustration of a major digging project or the disturbance of other types of major foundation excavations. In fact, helical pile foundations are one of the only types of foundations that can be installed in almost any weather condition. That means minimal delays in your project so you can get on to the next phase even sooner.
Here are just a few other reasons to choose helical pile foundations:
- Ease of installation: Helical piles are screwed directly into the ground, meaning less space is needed for installation. Limited-access locations are generally no problem.
- Minimal disturbance: Helical piles cause far less ground disturbance, and that makes construction far more tolerable for neighbors.
- Versatility: Helical piles can be installed in many different types of soil.
- No site preparation: No costly and time-consuming site preparation is necessary for helical pile installations.
Perhaps the largest benefit of helical piles is their independence. Because each pile is set up to act as an independent load-bearing element, they all provide support for your structure independent of one another. The only factor that influences the size or depth of each pile is the size of your structure.
