STRONGHOLD STRUCTURES X PIERTECH SYSTEMS™
Helical piers, also known as anchors, piles or screwpiles, are deep foundation solutions used to secure new or repair existing foundations. Due to their design and ease to install, they are most commonly used whenever soil conditions prevent standard foundation solutions. Instead of requiring large excavation work, they thread into the ground. This minimizes installation time, requires little soil disturbance, and most importantly transfers the weight of the structure to load bearing soil.
Square Shaft Advantages:
Greater yield and Tensile strength
Patented Cross-bolt Connection
Increased safety factor
Higher torque capacity
Easy to install
Installs in any season
