Moving Forward With Helical Piles

Wednesday, Feb. 22 | 2 p.m. Central

The critical nature of our aging infrastructure has been at the forefront of industry conversations and concerns, increasing the awareness of durability, longevity and efficient project delivery. Helical piles create an intelligent, streamlined and solid foundation embedded deep underground that can withstand the loads of substation equipment and transmission line structures over the long term. They are not only a preferred option for poor soil conditions within challenging landscapes, but also a competitive option for good soil. Helical piles are designed and prefabricated in a controlled environment and shipped to site. Installation is quicker, not dependent on weather conditions, and produces no spoils, and the piles can be loaded immediately with no curing time required. Join us as we provide insight into the industry’s market trends and opportunities and why we believe the helical pile foundation’s time has come.
