Introduction to Helical Anchors

Helical anchors are most commonly used when the upper soil is not suitable for the load required. Helical anchors transfer load from the top down to a suitable soil. It can be as short as 15' or as deep as 130' and beyond.

Helical anchors are commonly used in the following applications:

Foundation remediation

Slope stabilization

Tower support

Wind farm foundation

Tieback retaining walls

Commercial & residential buildings

Helical Anchors are popular as a foundation solution due to easy and fast installation in various weather conditions with minimal vibration and no cure time. They are also more environmental friendly, with virtually no spoils or waste. Helical anchors can consist of many components. The most common are leads, extensions, top caps, and/or brackets. Once the lead section is installed, extensions are added to reach the desired depth. In addition to helical anchors, this form of deep foundation is also known as helical piles, helical screws, screw piles, or earth anchors.
