Foundation Repair with Helical Pier Underpinning Systems
Dependable Solution For Foundation Stabilization
When it comes to addressing foundation issues beneath buildings, both old and new, our helical underpinning foundation system offers a reliable solution. Over time, structures may experience shifting, often due to poor-quality ground beneath the building. Our helical underpinning system provides a dependable and long-term stability solution.
When foundation settlement threatens the safety or stability of a structure, helical underpinning provides a fast, precise, and reliable solution. Intech Anchoring Systems designs and supplies helical underpinning systems engineered to restore and reinforce existing foundations in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Using advanced helical pile technology, our systems deliver proven results with minimal disruption and lasting structural integrity.

Engineered Foundation Repair with Proven Results
Helical underpinning stabilizes and strengthens foundations by transferring structural loads from unstable soil to deeper, more competent layers. This method uses helical piles, steel shafts with helical bearing plates, that are mechanically advanced into the ground until the required torque and load capacity are achieved. The piles then serve as new, stable supports for the foundation.
Unlike traditional underpinning methods that require extensive excavation or concrete curing, helical underpinning offers a cleaner, faster, and more controlled process. Intech Anchoring Systems provides complete helical underpinning systems designed for predictable performance and easy installation in all soil types, including sand, clay, and fill.
Our systems are trusted by engineers, contractors, and property owners for projects involving foundation settlement, structural remediation, or new construction support where soil conditions present challenges.
Benefits of Helical Underpinning
Helical underpinning offers distinct advantages over conventional methods such as driven piles or mass concrete underpinning. Whether for a small structure or a large commercial facility, this approach provides efficiency, precision, and longevity.
Key benefits include:
- Installs in areas with limited access and low overhead clearance
- Rapid installation process
- Immediate load-bearing capability. No curing time required
- Utilizes commonly available small construction equipment for installation
- Cost-effective mobilization
- No need to remove spoils or excavated materials
- Minimal to no vibrations or noise during installation
- Built-in quality control through installation torque to capacity correlation
Each helical underpinning system is designed with both structural performance and long-term reliability in mind, providing a durable solution for nearly any foundation stabilization challenge.
The Helical Underpinning Installation Process
The helical underpinning process is engineered for accuracy and reliability from start to finish. We provide detailed design support and installation guidance to ensure each project meets load and structural requirements.
- Assessment and design: Engineers assess the structure’s condition, soil profile, and load requirements to determine pile depth, configuration, and layout.
- Installation: Helical piles are hydraulically advanced into the soil until the required torque value is reached, indicating proper bearing capacity.
- Bracket placement: Foundation brackets are installed beneath the existing footing to connect the structure to the new helical pile supports.
- Load transfer: The building’s load is carefully transferred to the helical piles, stabilizing the foundation and halting settlement.
- Verification and finalization: Torque readings and load tests verify performance before installation is completed.
- This controlled process ensures precision, strength, and long-term stability in every project.

Because of its adaptability and precision, helical underpinning is often the preferred choice for both remedial and preventative foundation work.
FAQs About Helical Underpinning
What causes foundation settlement?
Foundation settlement is commonly caused by poor soil compaction, erosion, moisture changes, or organic soil breakdown beneath the structure. Helical underpinning transfers the load to deeper, more stable soil layers, preventing further movement.
How long does helical underpinning take to install?
Most residential projects can be completed in a few days, while larger or more complex structures may require more time depending on the number of piles and site conditions.
Can helical underpinning be used on existing structures?
Yes. Helical underpinning is specifically designed to stabilize and support existing foundations without major excavation or disruption to the structure.
How deep do helical piles go?
Depth depends on the soil conditions and design load but typically ranges from 10 to 50 feet. The piles are installed until sufficient torque indicates the required load-bearing capacity has been reached.
Is helical underpinning suitable for all soil types?
Helical underpinning works effectively in most soil conditions, including clay, sand, fill, and soft soils. Site-specific design ensures optimal performance.
