Helical Pier Installation for Macon homeowners
A helical pier is a steel shaft with helical plates welded to it, turned into the ground with a hydraulic torque motor until it reaches soil that will carry the load. The capacity is verified by the torque it takes to advance the last section, which gives a measurable number for every pier.
That method matters on the Fall Line. West and north of downtown Macon the Piedmont clay is variable and depth to competent material changes across a single lot. Screwing to a torque value finds the right depth at each location individually, so one depth is never assumed for the whole house.
Helical piers also need no weight from the structure to install, which makes them the right choice for lighter loads. Porches, additions, stoops, decks and light framed sections where a driven pier has nothing to react against. On heavier structural work we compare them against push piers and tell you which suits the loads we measure.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Macon home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.
