What happens here

Begin by driving helical piles into the ground at the predetermined locations for the structure's foundation. A specialized machine, typically a mini excavator equipped with a hydraulic auger attachment, is used to screw the galvanized steel piles into the earth. The piles are rotated clockwise until they reach the required depth and achieve the necessary torque capacity for load bearing. This process ensures a deep, stable, and frost-protected foundation for the subsequent construction.

Goal: Establish deep, stable foundation points for the structure.
