AB Chance Products Are Used Worldwide in Residential and Commercial Buildings
According to a report put out by the U.S. Department of Commerce in 2017, construction has risen to an 11-year high, and the trend was predicted to last for at least another two years. There are new projects in buildings and infrastructure that are popping up all over the country. All of this increased demand must be met with products that are affordable while still delivering high performance.
Helical pile systems are foundation solutions used to transfer load weight to higher load capacity helical bearing plates that are located in stable soil. They are ideal products for stabilizing/lifting foundations or retrofitting to increase load capacity. Engineers can rely on helical piles for applications throughout multiple sectors, including utility, commercial, industrial, government, and residential.
CHANCE foundation solutions are one part of the larger A.B. Chance Company. Their products are used all over the globe for a wide variety of applications, from tower and heavy equipment foundations to securing residential and commercial locations. Their foundation technology has been designed and engineered for long-term stability and dependability. These reasons and many others make them one of the best solutions for the current growth in the construction industry.
The Rising Popularity of Helical Piles Deep Foundation Solutions
We can advise you on helical pile installation depending on the type of soil that you are working with on your project. More recently, helical piles have become the foundation option of choice for construction on soil in areas of high seismic activity. In areas where there is average seismic activity, helical piles will still be an effective solution for tough soil conditions or areas with limited access.
The proximity to urban areas can get in the way of commercial construction or sewer work, but CHANCE piles solve this problem as well. They do not require excavation, and they can be installed using smaller equipment. When space is limited, helical piles are the optimal deep foundation system. The minimal soil disturbance caused by the helical piles also lends them to new residential construction. They offer less vibration, noise, and disturbance than many other options.
CHANCE Helical Piles are designed for simple functionality in versatile applications. Studies have shown that a single operator and lone laborer can install as many as 30 to 40 helical piles a day, depending on the project. That means lower overall labor costs and faster production times for your project. All of this adds up to greater productivity and efficiency for your team on the work site.
Take Advantage of Our Familiarity With Helical Piles and Their Applications
CHANCE Helical Piles put projects that once seemed too expensive within reach. Contractors, engineers, and project managers will be able to consider a wider variety of foundation solutions. That means more work for the skilled construction workers who are equipped with the knowledge of CHANCE products and their advantages.
The full-time engineering staff at Intech Anchoring can work with you to determine which products are best for your project.

/in Magnacore Self-Drilling Anchors /by tkingWork Smarter With Magnacore Self-Drilling Anchors
The world of construction is a competitive place, and you need every advantage you can get over the competition. It can sometimes be difficult to balance high-quality work against the costs of labor, materials, and tools. Magnacore and Intech Anchoring can make this balancing act easier with Magnacore Self-Drilling Anchors. These products can reduce construction costs and save time on even the most demanding job sites.
There are times when bedrock can be found close enough to the surface that a building can rest directly on it, but there are often scenarios where this is not the case. In environments like that, the construction team must use piles that are set deep in the ground and fortified to provide the support that the building needs. This process offers stability and reliable footing for the life cycle of the building.
With other products, you would be forced to first drill a hole for the pile installation or pour concrete and then install the steel reinforcement. Depending on the conditions of your soil, your drilling process would also involve casing to support the soil during this phase of construction and drilling. Magnacore Self-Drilling Anchors have streamlined this process, and they save time by working smarter and not harder.
Reduce Labor Costs and Save Time With Self-Drilling Anchors
The hollow bar design of the Magnacore anchor is its most significant advantage. It enables this product to work in almost every type of soil that you might encounter—and to do so more efficiently. When they designed this system, they engineered it to allow for the steel bar to function in loose or even collapsing soil. It is a first-rate and affordable solution when you’re working in soil with obstructions such as boulders or other limitations. The advantages do not stop there, though.
Self-drilling anchors are easy to use and create minimal noise pollution when compared to their alternatives. They are also designed to work well in areas of limited access for heavy equipment. These factors make them an optimal choice for urban environments and residential projects. The hollow bar allows for the injection of grout while drilling continues, and it uses a sacrificial drill bit that is left in the ground once the process is complete. All of this reduces material costs and decreases the time spent on drilling.

/in News /by JuliaMicropiles for Commercial Use
/in Commercial Contractor, Engineers /by JuliaThere are many different construction techniques for building a foundation. One method used by Intech Anchoring is the micropile.
Micropiles are also called minipiles. They are elements of a building’s foundation found deep in the ground. They are made using very strong, small steel casings or threaded bars. The casing is usually 3 to 10 inches in diameter. Some micropiles extend as deep into the ground as 200 feet (though the typical micropile goes around 20) and can hold over 200 tons. They are drilled into the ground with special machinery.
The nature of a micropile is its versatility. Micropiles can be drilled through almost any kind of ground or structure, and their drilling causes minimal vibration, noise, and disturbance. The steel structure of the device allows them to hold heavier loads than other foundational components, like driven piles, augercast piling, or drilled shafts. These other deep foundation systems are unable to be drilled through many kinds of obstructions, and their drilling may disturb adjacent structures. Micropiles are the best deep foundation systems in all of these cases.
