Can you guess why concrete footings wouldn’t work here?

What happens here

An extension section of the helical pile is brought over and quickly connected to the previously driven lead section. The video shows this as a swift attachment, likely involving a bolted or sleeve connection that is secured for continuity of the pile. This step is usually performed with precision to ensure a strong, continuous structural element.

Goal: Extend the helical pile to reach greater depths.

Tools and materials

  • Helical Pile — Adding length to the helical pile
  • Wrenches — Securing bolted connections between pile sections (not explicitly shown but implied)
