What is a Tieback Anchor?
A tieback is a helical or steel rod that is installed horizontally into the earth. Typical use cases of tiebacks are with stabilizing retaining walls, basements, or leaning walls caused by the force of water or earth. Tiebacks are drilled into soil, usually at a 15-degree angle directly into soil or bedrock. This process helps with stabilizing walls or fixing leaning walls, reducing the risk of wall destabilization or failure. Testing and designs need to be modified based on the sources applying external loads to the structure.

Helical Anchor Install Steps
1. A safety examination is performed to check for safety issues or structural issues
2. Excavation is made around the project area for minimal damage to the structural barrier
3. Remove previous faulty anchors that may have been installed by other anchor companies
4. Helical piles are installed at a 10 to 15-degree angle
5. Helical piles are tested for the correct specifications of torque and load capacity
6. All helical piles are driven through the poor soil to load-bearing soil
7. A nut and brace are installed on the other side of the structural barrier.
8. The nut is tightened to straighten and secure the structural barrier.
