Project Types

Where helical piers earn their keep.

Six project categories where load transfer through unstable soil to deep bearing strata is the right answer.

Solar array ground mounts

Engineered helical piers for utility-scale and commercial solar fields. Predictable torque, zero soil disturbance, fast install across 100s of piers.

Pre-construction foundations

Helical piers under new commercial footings before pour. Stamped engineering and load-tested capacity before concrete arrives.

Communications towers

Cell tower, monopole, and equipment pad foundations engineered to spec. torque-logged for the structural engineer of record.

Lift stations & utility

Sewer lift stations, pump houses, and utility infrastructure that cannot afford settlement. Permanent load-bearing pier support.

Underpinning of existing structures

Settling commercial slabs and foundations stabilized without demolition. Lift back to level when geometry allows.

Specialty industrial

Grain elevators, generator pads, racking foundations, conveyor systems. wherever soil cannot support the load.

Project Estimator

Quick solar pier estimate.

A rough order-of-magnitude starting point for solar developers and installers. Final pier counts come from a site-specific layout with your structural engineer.

Rough order-of-magnitude only. Actual pier count requires a site-specific layout from your structural engineer.

Project Process

Four steps. Documented at each one.

  1. 01
    Site visit + soils review
    A project manager meets the GC, owner, or engineer on-site and reviews the geotech report.
  2. 02
    Stamped design
    Helical pier layout with shaft size, helix configuration, target torque, and depth. Stamped by a licensed engineer when required.
  3. 03
    Mobilize crews
    Crews arrive on schedule with the right equipment for the soil. Daily progress logged.
  4. 04
    Torque test + closeout
    Live torque-test data captured for every pier. As-builts and load data delivered with final invoice.
"Stamped engineering, torque data on every pier, and a crew that has installed over 10,000 piers across the Midwest."

Helical Pier FAQ

Technical questions about commercial helical piers.

Don't see your question here? Our team is happy to help. Reach out anytime.

In typical Midwest loess and glacial till soils, our 3.5 inch shaft piers achieve 50-100 kips in compression and 30-60 kips in tension. 4.5 inch shaft piers can exceed 150 kips in competent soils. All capacity claims are backed by torque-to-capacity correlation per ICC-ES AC358 and the manufacturer's ICC report. For solar and commercial applications, we always recommend a test installation at the site before committing to a pier schedule.
