For the construction of a new foundation at Dry Tortugas National Park, engineers and contractors had to overcome a limited access site with challenging soil conditions and a delicate ecosystem. Read about this unique application for helical piles!

To avoid problems associated with extensive dewatering, geotechnical engineers devise a helical pile solution for foundation support that allowed the new Central Nebraska Regional Airport to be completed on time and on budget. https://t.co/Hd05tGoaok
Helical piles stabilize LDOT's Spring Street Bridge Repair project. The piles can be placed more quickly than conventional piles, and are favorable when working in limited access conditions, such as directly adjacent to busy railroad tracks.

We assisted Gardner Construction Inc on a project. Here's a look at an example of settlement mitigation where we used helical piers and underpinning brackets to support the structure.

This Church Hill home has been a unique challenge for Project Manager Dennis. The ground was too soft to build a normal foundation so we drilled 25 feet down and installed helical piers to support the foundation! This house also has a beautiful view of #rva!

We are proud to have this project featured along with Chance Helical piles. The article details North America's Tallest building supported on Helical piles in London ON.

Underpinning an existing chemical tank farm safely can be a difficult task. Performing the work without any costly delays to the client can be even more difficult. Providing both would be the most difficult task, but that’s why we use helical piles.
ArchDaily: Tree Pittsburgh Headquarters Project “contaminated brownfield soil became project drivers for sustainability. A 6” layer of clean fill was added throughout the site and the helical pier foundation system limits soil disturbance.”

Yates-Sundt Construction celebrates raising final slab at the Comal County Jail project. The foundation incorporates helical pile foundation system&lifting mechanisms to elevate the concrete slab above the highly expansive clay soil found in the area.

In the marsh of south Louisiana, the soil is weak, but our #engineering is strong. Check out our recent helical pile installation extending 100 feet deep to support a 230kV self-supporting 90° dead end.
