A deep foundation transmits the structural loads to soil/rock that are deeper in the ground; as contrasted to a shallow
foundation, which transmits the structural load to the soil/rock that is relatively close to the grounds surface. Deep foundation
systems are used in instances where a shallow foundation is not possible, not practical, or will not carry the load. Examples
of when to use a deep foundation solution are weak surface soils, unstable surface soils, or expansive surface soils.

CHANCE Helical Piles

Examples of deep foundation elements are driven piles, drilled
shafts (caissons), auger-cast piles, and CHANCE helical piles.
CHANCE helical piles are pre-manufactured steel deep
foundation elements consisting of a central steel shaft and one or
more helical shaped bearing plates. A helical pile is installed by
rotating or screwing it into the ground. Each helical bearing plate is
formed into a screw thread with a uniform defined pitch.

Helical Pulldown Micropile

The Helical Pulldown Micropile is a system for constructing a
grout column around the shaft of a standard Helical Pile
Foundation System.
The Helical Pulldown Micropile does not require removing spoils
from the site. By combining both end-bearing on the helical plates
and skin friction along the rough surface of the grout column, the
result is an increase in buckling and compression capacity for the
pile system. Specify or use the Helical Pulldown Micropile on
your next project.

Installation of the Helical Pulldown

Micropile
The Helical Pulldown Micropile installs quickly in any weather
condition. A hydraulically powered torque motor is mounted to
standard construction equipment such as a digger-derrick truck,
line truck, rubber tired backhoe, track-hoe excavator, or front end
skid-steer loader. Continuous torque and crowd is applied to
advance the HELICAL PULLDOWN Micropile into the soil. As the helical plates pull the pile downward, the displacement
plate forces soil outward creating the void which the flowable grout then occupies. This displacement pile system does not
require removing spoils from the site. Some of the deep foundation applications, features and benefits are listed below:
