New construction features
The Chance® helical pile foundation system is perfect for a wide range of commercial, industrial, institutional and residential applications — from new homes and high-rise structures to sound walls, communication towers and bridges.
Heavy-duty helical foundations
In new construction applications, engineers rely on helical piles to transfer structure load to deep, stable soils. Originally popularized for light-duty new construction and remedial repair, helical piles are now commonly used for high-capacity new construction projects in commercial, industrial, and residential applications. Helical pile deep foundations have been proven in load tests with capacities of over 400,000 pounds per pile.
Challenging soil profiles
Chance helical foundation systems are designed, tested and proven for applications in expansive soils, high water tables, fill areas and other areas where unstable soils require piling. Chance helical pile systems reach competent soil below active zones, are predictable by torque-to-capacity correlation, do not require excavation or spoils to prepare site, will accept loads immediately and install in limited access areas in most weather conditions.
Predictable capacity
When contractors pour a shallow foundation, such as a strip footing or turned down slab, they cannot reliably measure its capacity. That's why foundation repair is such a huge industry today. When an engineer specs a helical pile foundation, they can be confident that it will carry the load that the helical piles were designed to hold. Try our free design software, HeliCAP, to calculate capacity and select the best products for the job.
