how far apart do you set the piles?

It looks like helical piles cannot be used when building a deck on steep load. I think concrete posts are still better.

These helical piles are garbage. Too expensive.. I say this is the same as ICF. Waste of money. Only difference between this and sono tube's is a day tops. And once i saw they had that girl as there spokesperson. I know it was a scam..

Do the helical piles sit inside the concrete wall like sonu tubes in a poured slab?

This lady really seems to know her stuff,interesting.

Wouldn’t frozen ground give false torque readings?

Why not just put the rebar heads on straight so you don't have to trim them? aren't you drilling the hole for it anyways?

This thing is crazy expensive for contractors to make a good profit out of it. I wish it was mor accesible and be easier to sell to the clients instead of concrete footings.

how do you know what torque is enough for load bearing if you only have a PSI/Bar gauge on your hydraulic line

are there piers in the middle, or just the perimiter?

Any idea what ICF product was used for this project?

Can these be used in anyway to replace a 2' deep footing under a 60' wall on some kind of shifty material (Granite Gravel) that's 10ft deep? Plan to compact the Granite Gravel if necessary…I understand it is 1000psi at normal compaction. Thanks if you got any tips would really appreciate hearing about it.

I was looking for a how to video but I got a sales video

Thanks for a fantastic explanations 👍

Anyone else get the impression this person doesn’t know wtf she’s talking about? “Contractors hate when it goes out just a little bit,” because it makes whole rest of the build not-square, dummy.

I was all excited about using helical piles on an upcoming residential build - until I realized they have a finite lifespan of 75-100 years. That might sound like a non-issue to most, but I have a hard time as a builder committing to a home that will fall apart on cue. Its almost like planned obsolescence. I live in a town with old school buildings that are 100 years old that are being converted to apartments. All the work is internal remodeling. The structure is very stout and strong and should last another 100 years. I envy that.

My concern would be what happens to the steel after 50 years or 75 years I mean, obviously I noticed that it’s galvanized. What does that steel look like structurally after that time frame and how does that translate if there’s a failure with that much weight above it that’s no longer giving it the support that it needs essentially you put all the way onto these peers, so if there’s a failure in several peers in one area may because of water buildup, what’s the potential damage?

Can this be used for a finished basement in new construction?

On a lakeside residence, with water table concerns

Good post👍

I have been following your videos. Do you know of anyone in Massachusetts that does helical piles?

It’s always inspiring to watch people who know what they’re doing, do it with passion! Very clever technology. Australia.

I love her smirk at beginning. She looks like UFC fighter

Why cut the rebar when its close to the string line and not bend it. seems to me its better to keep as much rebar intact as possible

What's the average cost to go 50 feet down with the medium size

What's what's the average cost to go

Superb! Do you provide consultancy service?

I'm a builder in Central Texas, and in this part of the country we have the same concerns with soil movement due to drought conditions as builders in Northern climates do with the freeze-thaw cycle. Building slab-on-grade foundations resting on piles eliminates the concerns of soil shrinkage due to drought conditions. It also eliminates the need to water your foundation during dry periods which is often problematic as during drought conditions water restrictions are also in place. I've experimented with building several foundations with steel piers and I suspect will begin to see a great deal more of it in the future. Thanks for your video it's a great explanation for how this process works and how it can be a substitution for digging shallow footings.

If a woman is explaining anything involving building im out.

Curious how helical piles would hold up against lake ice. I need to rebuild my dock and this would be the simplest solution, but the ice up here can get to be two feet thick in the winter. Do you have installers in Northern New York?

If the helical pile is not positioned exactly correctly, what correction possibilities are there? The video at time 3:15 clearly shows that the piles are not dead center under the posts. Are brackets available that permit adjustment?

Why so many posts close to the house wall when the deck is utilizing a ledger.

8:00 glue some nice wood siding to the sides of that plate make it a bit more appealing.

I was trying to start the piles up here in western my but the only place I could find to get the piles were Canada and they wanted 5k a year just as a membership. Here i wanted to do them for decks and supports. Glad to see them in the states now. Would love to learn more on how you guys are using them.

Thanks for a fantastic video and congratulations on having such a great business - your customers are obviously very happy. We do something similar over here in the UK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 you guys are an inspiration 👍🏻

Concrete is a hell of a lot cheaper, for the diy-er, who cares if you lose a day or two?

I love your logo. Where do you get your heli anchors?

was tryig to invest in a much smaller machine for decks and small buildings in western new york but all i found was a company out of canada that sells them and they wanted 5k a year just to be able to buy materials. didn't work for me but i love the concept and hope it comes this way soon.

You dig additional piles next to it per the calculations ( bearing load) and create a larger pile cap to support it. On a commercial scale, this is done when the water table is close to the surface. Basically your building a bridge to support the load. 😊

Well get ready because it ain't cheap! Last quote i had for four helical piles was $ 5400.00.

What do you do when the rock is to big to be moved?

What about rusting metal in Helical piles with time? It subjected to water, wet soil, acid and alkaline environment, etc.

I'll be looking for some more projects where I can use the screw piles instead of concrete.
