Helical Pile Solutions Ltd reposted this
Helical piles are becoming more recognised in the domestic market to provide sufficient foundation bearing in most soil conditions and flood areas. As you can see these can be installed with handheld equipment that fits through a doorway or limited side access. Recommended pile loads for these 76R diameter piles would be 40-50kN SLS per pile based on using either F.O.S of 2.5 or 3.0. The load can be higher when using an excavator mounted drive unit. This is bound by the torque resistance through installation not the overall axial capacity (structural) of the pile. The housing market needs to consider the costs of spoil removal when using traditional methods and the carbon emissions generated. Our piles mitigate any need to remove spoil as spoil arisings are not generated during the installation process plus the steel piles offer significant carbon reductions in comparison to concrete.
