Choose a More Stable Foundation for Your Commercial Property

Helical piers, also called screw piles, are steel foundation supports that screw into the ground. They can hold heavy structures by transferring loads through friction. They work well in uneven or weak soils, providing stable support for larger properties and equipment. Some of the facilities that benefit from our helical piers include:

Large white industrial tanks for commercial propane or LPG storage

Large Tanks

Helical piers are ideal for supporting large storage tanks, including water, fuel, and chemical tanks. They can carry heavy vertical loads and prevent the tanks from sinking, even on soft ground. Installation is fast and doesn’t require curing like concrete. The load-bearing capacity can also be adjusted.

Electrical Substations

Electrical substations often sit on uneven soil or in areas where excavation is limited. Helical piers provide high lateral and They create minimal vibration during installation, protecting sensitive equipment. Helical piers can also be installed in tight spaces with limited crane access.

Large silver pipelines leading to an industrial oil refinery or chemical plant

Pipelines and Conduits

For pipelines and conduits, helical piers can effectively anchor supports or valve pads. They are also used as suspension piers to stabilize long runs or crossings where normal foundations are not feasible. The corrosion-resistant coatings resist rust in wet or chemical soils.

Advantages of Helical Piers for Industrial/Commercial Applications

Helical piers bring practical advantages to industrial and commercial projects. Their designs provide durable support without the long curing times, heavy excavation, or major disruptions that concrete foundations often require.

Immediate Stability: Helical piers support tanks, substations, and pipelines right after installation, removing the wait time needed for traditional concrete to harden.
Compact Installation: These piers fit into small or crowded areas, allowing placement in locations where digging would otherwise be difficult or disruptive.
Reusable Option: If equipment or structures need to shift or expand, helical piers can often be unscrewed and installed again in a new location.
Soil-Friendly: Installation disturbs little soil, creates less noise, and reduces water and dirt movement compared with traditional foundation methods.

Helical Pier Installation Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are helical piers?

Helical piers are steel shafts with helical plates that transfer a building's load to the soil. We install them to support foundations and heavy equipment, with less excavation and reduced downtime.

How long does the installation take?

Installation time varies with project size and soil conditions, but helical piers usually install far faster than poured foundations. We plan the job so that on-site time is limited and any disruptions to your operations are reduced.

Are helical piers corrosion-resistant and durable?

Helical piers use galvanized or epoxy coatings and thicker steel sections to resist corrosion. We specify materials based on the environment and provide protective options to maximize service life while reducing long-term maintenance needs.

Do helical piers need maintenance?

Helical piers need minimal routine maintenance when fitted with corrosion-resistant coatings. We recommend periodic inspections after major events and supply documentation that owners can use to monitor the condition and schedule future preservation work.

How much will this cost?

Costs depend on soil conditions and site access, so we provide project-specific quotes after an evaluation. We provide a clear quote after visiting the property so businesses know exactly what to expect.
