CCGI Distributes and installs all Fasteel Foundation systems; including HELICAL PILES and PUSH PIERS. As with all of our foundation systems, CCGI provides complete Design/Build solutions for our Helical System.
Why Helical Piles?
Capacity: For light to moderate loads, up 100 kips, this system provides substantial cost benefits over other systems.
Mobilization: Due to the small nature of the equipment required to install the anchors, mobilization costs are substantially less than that of other systems requiring significantly larger equipment.
Testing: The costs for performing load tests can be as little as one quarter the cost of other systems. Testing can also be conducted the same day the pile is installed.
Loading: Our Helical Piles perform just as well in compression as tension.
Quality: Manufacturing is conducted under the strict requirements of an ISO 9001 quality assurance program.
Structure: The system is based on a 2-7/8” diameter structural steel pipe. If required the shaft of the pile can be grouted for additional strength.
Inspection: Every pile is installed to a required torque, enabling positive determination of capacity.
Coatings: Our system can be ordered with Galvanized coatings.
Low Headroom and Limited Access: The minimal equipment requirements make Helical Piles ideal for installation in even the most constrained environments. They can even be installed with hand held equipment.
Retrofit: When foundations are settling or buckling, Helical Piles are ideal for supplemental capacity.
Who is using Helical Piles?
Corp of Engineers, Veterans Administration
State agencies and DOTs
Commercial Builders, Home Builders
Where can Helical Piles be utilized?
Retaining structures, both permanent and temporary. Our Helical Piles can be utilized as tiebacks in conjunction with almost all other retaining systems and façades.
Elevated walkways, boardwalks and piers. Yes, they can even be installed in the water.
Builders use Helical Piles to acquire more square footage on tight and oddly shaped lots increasing property value.
Lateral Load support: Helical Piles can be installed at any batter and even horizontal, if required for your application.
As our system is based on a structural pipe shaft, the pile can be used as a conduit for advancing utilities.
Vehicular protection: We can customize our system to meet almost any requirements for Bollards.
Equipment support, such as power stations and transmission towers.
When commercial or residential foundations settle or buckle, Helical Piles provide an economical and quick solution.
Sound Barrier Wall support, both lateral and compression.
Sign post and fence installation
Limited access and low-headroom conditions are a problem. Helical Piles are an ideal solution, both for new construction and retrofit. When required structures can be lifted to minimize the effects of the structures movement.
Marinas: Helical Piles are ideal substitutes for dead men in conjunction with bulkheads, eliminating excess demolition and excavation. In many cases less of the facility is affected, decreasing the loss of use and revenue.
Utility Support: When utility tolerances are an issue related to buoyancy or settlement, Helical Piles are a quick and cost effective solution.
As you can see, Helical Piles provide a wide range of solutions for all sorts of foundation requirements. The next time you have a specialty foundation requirement, Give CCGI the opportunity to provide complete design/build solutions to minimize your construction costs.
