The helical anchor/pile is basically a deep foundation system used to support or resist any load or application. Installed by mobile equipment ranging in size from lightweight units to heavier units depending on the load requirements, it can be loaded immediately. The helical anchor/pile’s elegant simplicity is its greatest asset. Its mechanical design and manufacture balance the capacities of its three basic parts and maximize the efficient use of their material.
