Helical Pulldown Micropile, Anchor, SS5, 8/10/12in X 7ft

The Helical Pulldown® Micropile is a method used to form a grout column around the shaft of a standard helical anchor/pile. To begin the process, a helical anchor/pile is placed into the soil by applying torque to the shaft. The helical shape of the bearing plates creates a significant downward force that keeps the foundation advancing into the soil. After the Lead Section with the helical plates penetrates the soil, a Lead Displacement Plate and Extension are placed onto the shaft. Resuming torque on the assembly advances the helical plates and pulls the displacement plate downward, forcing soil outward to create a cylindrical void around the shaft. From a reservoir at the surface, a flowable grout immediately fills this void surrounding the shaft. Additional extensions and displacement plates are added until the helical bearing plates reach the minimum depth required or competent load-bearing soil.

• Square Shaft Lead Sections are assembled to Square Shaft Extension with through bolt.
• The helical shaped plates do not auger into the soil but rather screw into it with minimal soil disturbance
• Hot dipped galvanized per ASTM A153
