What happens here

Once the hydraulic drive head is securely attached, activate the excavator's hydraulic system to begin rotating the helical pile. The helical flights on the pile's shaft will engage with the soil, pulling the pile downward like a large screw. Continuously monitor the installation depth, alignment, and the torque being applied. The pile must be driven consistently and without interruption to maintain its structural integrity and achieve the required load-bearing capacity, often indicated by a specific torque reading.

Goal: The hydraulic drive head is activated to rotate the helical pile, effectively screwing it deep into the ground until it achieves the specified bearing capacity.
