Helical Piles & Anchors

CHANCE® helical piles (compression) and anchors (tension) are an instant foundation system that features real-time tracking of the torque-to-capacity ratio during installation. This helical foundation system is segmented with helical bearing plates welded to a central steel shaft. Load is transferred from the structure through the shaft to the soil through the bearing plates. High load capacities and lateral stability in weak surface soils can be achieved by utilizing the Helical Pulldown™ Micro pile system

FRICTION REDUCTION

"Negative skin friction" or "downdrag" are terms defining forces on piles installed through soil deposits undergoing consolidation. These forces reduce the usable capacity of the piles installed, and should be seriously considered when the ultimate capacity of the pile foundation is evaluated. The negative shaft resistance is the reverse of the usual positive resistance developed along a pile's surface. These negative forces increase the axial load on the pile and can be significant.
