I can't think of a better use case to show how versatile helical piles are!

What happens here

The process is repeated for the second helical pile. This involves detaching the driver from the first pile, moving it to the second marked location, assembling a new helical pile and extensions if necessary, carefully positioning it, and then driving it into the ground while monitoring the hydraulic pressure to ensure it meets the structural requirements.

Goal: Install the second helical pile to support the new roof structure.

Tools and materials

  • Helical Pile Driver Assembly — Driving the helical pile
  • Helical Pile Extension — Increasing the length of the helical pile if needed
  • Helical Pile — The second foundation element
  • Hydraulic Power Unit — Providing hydraulic power to the driver
  • Pressure Gauge — Monitoring the torque and bearing capacity
