Helical Pile Stamped Shop Drawings
A helical screw pile is constructed of helical-shaped circular steel plates that are welded to a steel shaft. The plates are constructed as a helix with a carefully controlled pitch, similar to the thread on a screw.
The pile type and helix diameter are chosen based on the bearing capacity of the soil and the load the rotary-installed steel pile is designed to support. The central shaft is used to transmit torque during installation and to transfer axial loads to the helical plates. The central shaft also provides most of the resistance to lateral loading.
The true helix on the helical pile allows it to be turned into the ground with impressive speed and accuracy and without the noise and vibrations associated with a pile driver. The addition of the helix also dramatically increases bearing capacity and up-lift resistance.
We work closely with our engineering contacts to provide site specific stamped shop drawings designed for each project’s structural support needs.
