NOT thinking small can cost you big
Helical piers are a reliable and affordable way to protect and stabilize a structure that matters to you. They’re equally suited for both new construction and foundation repair applications, and they’re the engineer’s choice for commercial, industrial and residential buildings of virtually every type.
At the most basic level a “helical pier” is an earth anchoring device designed for deep foundation support. A helical pier has one or more metal discs or “bearing plates” that are welded in a spiral pattern around a rigid central core. The load from the foundation is passed from a connection point to the shaft, from the shaft to the discs, and from the discs to the surrounding soil. The depth of the central support and the diameter and spacing of the bearing plates is determined by the local soil type and by the specs of the foundation you need to support. Helical piers can also be customized for any site requirements.
Commercial & Municipal Drilling
360º Drilling operates the smallest hydraulic piling rigs in the world. Reaching depths of 40' and up to 30" diameter. Our powerful machine is designed to work in extremely tight spaces with limited headroom, and jobsites difficult to access for any other standard piling rig. The minimum working height is 9'2" and the width 5'3".

Helical Piles
Also known as helical piles or screw piles, A helical pier’s name is derived from its primary method to provide load support through compression or tension applied to a steel shaft with one or more circular plates attached, which resemble a helix.
Tieback Anchors
Tiebacks are helical piles that are installed horizontally. The primary use of tieback anchors is to support walls, structures, and underpinnings against leaning or losing stability. Stability can be lost due to moving or unsettling dirt and water.
Concrete Piers
Also known as concrete slabs are common structural components in most buildings. Concrete piers are used for pier and beam homes where the structural integrity of a traditional slab foundation can fail over time due to clay moisture levels and moving soils.
In all of these applications and more, helical piers offer a number of compelling advantages.
Helical piers can be loaded immediately after installation—no cure time.
Faster and cheaper to install than older, less reliable technology.
Ideal for unstable topsoil or areas with high groundwater levels.
Multiple bearing plates contact the soil across more surface area for greater stability.
Reliable for structures subject to above average seismic or wind exposure.
Suitable for environmentally sensitive or protected areas.
Each pier is load tested and precisely configured for your exact soil requirements.
Far less excavation and site disruption than old-school driven piles or cast-in-place alternatives.
