Helical Piles at DekTexDekTex has been using helical piles for years in our deck construction. This is the most efficient way to install deck footings for your outdoor living space. What is a Helical Pile?A helical pile consists of at least one helix-shaped steel bearing plate attached to a central steel shaft. Each helix is circular in plan, formed into a screw thread with a defined pitch (typically three inches). The helical pile is rotated (screwed) into the ground to advance one pitch distance per revolution. Helical piles can be fully extendable, so that the helix plates can be installed to any specified bearing depth. A helical foundation can be used to resist both uplift and compression loads. |
