Introduction:
When it comes to building a strong, stable structure, the foundation is everything. Traditional concrete footings have long been the go-to method—but in recent years, helical piers have emerged as a better, faster, and smarter solution for new construction. Whether you’re building a custom home, a commercial building, or a multi-family complex, helical piers offer a modern approach to foundation support that delivers unmatched benefits.
What Are Helical Piers?
Helical piers, also known as helical piles or screw piles, are steel foundation systems designed to anchor deep into load-bearing soil. Installed using hydraulic equipment, these piers “screw” into the ground with minimal disturbance—making them an ideal option for a wide range of soil conditions and job sites.
Why Use Helical Piers for New Construction?
1. Better Support in Poor Soil Conditions
Unlike traditional concrete footings that rely on shallow soil stability, helical piers reach deeper, anchoring into compacted soil or bedrock. This makes them ideal for areas with:
- Expansive clay soils
- Loose fill
- High water tables
- Flood-prone zones
At FND Piers, we’ve helped countless contractors and builders stabilize projects in challenging environments across the the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area and beyond.
2. Faster Installation = Quicker Timelines
Time is money. Helical piers can be installed in a matter of hours, not days. There’s no waiting for concrete to cure, no excavation delays, and minimal cleanup. This keeps your project on schedule—and sometimes ahead of it. Key benefits include:
- Same-day load-bearing capability
- No weather-related delays from concrete curing
- Less labor and equipment on site
3. Smarter Long-Term Investment
Helical piers are engineered for longevity. They offer a smarter long-term solution with:
- Corrosion-resistant coatings
- Precise torque monitoring during installation (ensuring proper load-bearing capacity)
- Flexibility for future foundation adjustments or additions
For builders and developers, this means peace of mind and lower lifetime maintenance costs
Ideal Applications for Helical Piers in New Construction
- Single-family homes
- Townhomes and duplexes
- Apartment buildings
- Light commercial structures
- Detached garages and ADUs
