Setting a deep foundation for a commercial building, telecommunications pole, or other hefty structure? Need to underpin an existing foundation in a reliable manner? You need Grouted Helical Micropiles.

Grouted Helical Micropiles serve as a grout column, sent deep into the surrounding earth to encapsulate helical piles. Grouted Helical Micropiles anchor your structure to reverse or prevent shifting, leaning, or any loss of structural integrity. Leaving a sturdy foundation, as expected.  Your unique job site will include a variety of characteristics from soil temperament, load bearing capacity and more. We’ll partner with you to provide the right product for your build. 

GROUTED HELICAL PILES ARE A GREAT SOLUTION FOR DEEP FOUNDATIONS

We proudly partner with the greatest material manufacturers in engineering. Our goal is to provide a winning solution for existing foundations in need of support and as a reliable foundation option for new structures. The Intech Anchoring System is especially valuable because it can prevent buckling in areas of weak soil while also taking on skin friction in areas of abrasive soil. Our method works even in areas of limited access, because installation requires only a hydraulic torque motor mounted on standard equipment.

Grouted Helical Micropile installations are performed in one of three classes of specification:

• Open: In this project spec type, usually only used to land bids on very temporary installations, the contractor controls every component of scope and design, construction, and performance.
• Performance: This spec allows the contractor and the owner equal control over the design and construction. The contractor must use test methods or any other designated parameters to demo performance to the owner before approval.
• Prescriptive: This commonly utilized spec leaves control in the owner’s hands. In this way, the contractor is obligated to complete the installation in the manner that the owner prescribes in the scope and design.

COMPARING GROUTED HELICAL MICROPILES

Grouted Helical Micropiles are widely chosen and successful in most project scenarios because they are fast, easy, and effective. These micropile supports can withstand the high capacity of a new construction or significantly aid in the reinforcement of an existing high-impact structure.

This system doesn’t require the manpower of many other foundation systems or supplementations. With no pre-drilling necessary and an effective speed of 40-50 piles daily, installation is noninvasive to the schedule or site of construction.

USE GROUTED HELICAL MICROPILES IN THESE DEEP FOUNDATION SCENARIOS

The two main uses for Grouted Helical  Micropiles are in existing foundations and new constructions. In either case, the Grouted Helical Micropile system allows for reliability without the added cost of manpower, unique equipment, or days of postponed construction.

• Trust Grouted Helical Micropiles for new, deep foundations. In structures large and small which require a deep foundation, this system is ideal. Consider a very large building constructed on weak or aggressive soil – Grouted Helical Micropiles would support that structure, high impact and all. Inversely, consider a thin telecommunications monopole which requires a deep foundation as a counterweight to its height and susceptibility to wind –Grouted Helical Micropiles can manage that, too. Combat corrosion, skin friction, buckling, and the limitations of a sensitive construction site (due to oil rigging, use of gas, or electricity) with Grouted Helical Micropiles.
• Return stability to an existing structure with the Grouted Helical Micropiles system. In an Intech Anchoring case study, a building compromised by contaminated foundational soils was rescued by this deep foundation innovation. Even in the most sensitive situations or circumstances that require fast action – 6 days, for the aforementioned case – Grouted Helical Micropiles can maintain control.
