Helical piers are versatile and valuable for both residential and commercial structures in challenging environments like the Alaskan tundra.
For Houses: Helical piers provide a solid and stable foundation, particularly in areas with permafrost or shifting soils. They offer resistance against frost heave and minimize ground disturbance during installation, making them ideal for remote locations. These piers ensure long-term stability, helping to prevent foundation movement and structural damage. They are also advantageous for retrofitting existing homes, stabilizing porches, decks, and sunrooms, ensuring they remain secure in unpredictable soil conditions.
For Commercial Structures: Helical piers are excellent for supporting large, heavy buildings such as retail stores, warehouses, and office complexes. They are suitable for new construction and retrofitting, offering a fast, cost-effective solution with minimal site disruption. Our deep foundation system transfers loads to stable soil layers, ensuring the structure's integrity. Additionally, helical piers are used for supporting utility infrastructure, such as pipelines and telecommunications towers, providing reliable stability in the harsh conditions of the Alaskan tundra.
By using helical piers, both residential and commercial structures can achieve the stability and durability needed to withstand the unique challenges of the Alaskan environment.
In the USACE eyes, helical piers is NO ground disturbance. That eliminates SHPO’s issues and months, sometimes a year in concurrence with these agencies. These two are the biggest hurdles with HUD and federal projects.
