Helical Foundation Systems
Helical foundations have been in use for over 200 years. Yet, these screw pile systems remain buried in mystery with many contractors. This course explores the application and limitations of Helical Screw Piles.
Description
Many contractors hear the word "helical" and assume they are expensive or only for special circumstances. We were surprised at the versatility and effectiveness of this low-impact foundation system.
Jeff Makey followed a helical installer filming multiple installations across western NC's rugged terrain. We filmed projects ranging from solar arrays to foundation repairs.
Actual in-field footage is overlaid in the interview with Chris Terry.
