Tilt-up construction features

Helical anchors are an ideal, reusable alternative to wasteful and bulky concrete deadmen or inefficient subfloor bracing for tilt-up wall construction.

Efficient construction

Efficient construction

Tilt-up construction uses pre-fabricated concrete walls which are tilted up with a crane and braced in position until the roof is added. Use our helical ground anchors to streamline tilt-up wall support construction.

Each panel typically uses one helical anchor. A single, seven foot long, 77 pound SS5 square shaft helical anchor can support up to 50,000 pounds of load, depending on soil conditions. The support brace attached to the concrete wall is easily connected with the helical ground anchor using a tilt-up construction adapter.

Complete tilt-up wall construction on your own time table. Say goodbye to the weather delays and long curing times of concrete.

Predictable capacity

Predictable capacity

Helical anchors provide adequate tension and possess the load handling capabilities to support tilt-up panels.

To accurately measure an anchor's holding capacity, calculate torque during installation and input your specific site soil conditions into our HeliCAP software.

Cost savings

Cost savings

Stop spending money hauling bulky concrete deadmen and overdesigning your support system. Our helical ground anchors and support brackets can be quickly removed and stored for reuse, so you don't have to move your deadmen to every new job site.

After the bracing is detached, simply reverse the torque motor to back out the anchor. Because of the pitch of the helix plates, the jobsite soil remains relatively undisturbed and the steel anchor is ready to be reused for your next installation.

Tilt-up construction products

From helical anchors to torque indicators to support brackets, we offer an array of products that support efficient tilt-up construction.

SS5 square shaft helical anchor

SS5 square shaft helical anchor

The square shaft helical anchor is used to transfer surface loads into bearing layers of soil. Used in applications where tension, compression or both types of structure loading is required.
