What sets helical systems apart?
What are helical piers?
A helical pier is a hydraulically driven steel anchor that is torqued into the earth until it meets the desired design load criteria. Piering brackets are attached to the footing and stem wall and a mechanical connection is made between the helical pier shaft and footing bracket.
The structure beneath can now be raised back to a pre-determined elevation with a hydraulic jack, pump and manifold system. This mechanism allows for elevation control of the structure.
