Stabilize Your Foundation With Helical Piers
Screw Pile Installation For Residential, Commercial, & Industrial Projects
When it comes to screw pile foundations, UMA’s contractors have the knowledge and field training needed to execute your project without a hitch. But you may be wondering, how exactly does a helical pile installation work?
To achieve structural remediation, the helical anchors are screwed into the ground in flights – or sections of helical piers – bearing resistance to the helix at the tip of the pier. Once in place, they can be mechanically attached to the foundation permitting the operator to support and/or raise the connected foundation. The helical piers are then installed at calculated intervals to ensure the equal spread of the structure’s load.
Helical anchors can be installed in limited access areas because of their size and ease of installation. This deep foundation method side-steps the time and disturbance associated with excavation and allows a load of a structure to easily transfer onto the supporting soils.

The Most Common Uses Of Helical Anchors
We often use helical anchors in industrial, commercial, and residential projects because they are easy to install and highly effective. Here are the most common uses of helical piles:
- Structural underpinning
- New construction in unstable soil
- Tiebacks for slope stabilization
- In place of caissons, driven piles, or micropiles
- & more
We often use helical anchors in slope stabilization to help maintain slope stability. This is done by screwing the piles into the fault line and then attaching that to a retaining wall. In structural underpinning, the helical piers are placed underneath the exposed failed footings and then raised to the required elevation.
