What Are Helical Ground Anchors?

Helical ground anchors, also loosely referred to as screw piles, are advanced anchoring systems designed to stabilize structures and provide reliable support in various soil conditions. Featuring a screw-like design with helices along a steel shaft, these anchors are driven deep into the ground to secure foundations, retaining walls, and anchor the structure to more stable layers of earth beneath the surface.

 

Ideal for both temporary and permanent applications, helical ground anchors offer a versatile solution that ensures structural integrity with minimal site disruption. Their adaptability and load-bearing capabilities make them ideal for residential, commercial, and marine projects alike.
