Helical Piers

Helical Piers are steel shafts, square or round, with helices welded onto them at specific angles. The end product resembles a large screw that is screwed into the ground. Helical piers provide foundation support for homes, large structures, boat docks, and many other purposes.

The load of the structure is transferred to stable soil deep in the ground. The helical pier facilitates this transfer of weight, giving structures a deep foundation solution.

Helical piers can be used in many different applications. They are ideal for new construction, but can be used to repair sunken foundations as well. Whenever a project calls for driven piles or caissons, helical piers can be used. They are especially good for foundations that are exposed to a lot of moisture.

Interwest is your authorized dealer of Magnum Helical Pier systems. Magnum Helical Piers are designed with round shafts. This design provides more lateral strength and stability than square bar shaft designs.
