SQUARE SHAFT HELICAL PILES
Square shaft helical piles or piers are used in applications where tension is the primary focus. The innovative design provides greater tensile strength and torque capacity while retaining the ease of installation. As an additional bonus, they create minimal soil disruption, making them a practical and attractive method of repair.
At Grip-Tite Manufacturing, we’ve been setting the industry standard for nearly 100 years. While our company has grown significantly since our founding, our commitment to providing high-quality foundation repair products has remained the same. When you choose helical piers from Grip-Tite, you can do so confidently knowing you’re getting products crafted by industry pioneers. Call our team today!
Benefits of Square Shaft Helical Pile Systems from Grip-Tite Manufacturing
As previously mentioned, if tension is the primary focus, square shaft helical piers are the ideal helical pier option. In conjunction with our strong helical tiebacks, our square shaft helical piers are an effective method for correcting and straightening walls. Square shaft helical piers offer a number of benefits, including:
- Higher Yield and Tensile Strength
- Higher Torque Capacity
- Efficient, Quick Installation
- Minimal Soil Disruption
- Not Adversely Affected by a High Water Table
- Can be Installed Anytime
