Wind and frost put uplift forces on racking and panels

Because of the embedded helix, helical piles provide superior resistance to uplift forces as compared to other foundation types.

High installation rates ensure tight construction schedules are achievable

Helical piles have a high install speed in solar applications, often exceeding schedule projections.

Expensive to get concrete to remote areas

Helical piles can be used throughout a solar project eliminating the need for concrete.

Wind turbine foundations are subject to high moment forces traditionally requiring extremely large concrete slab bases

Helical piles provide resistance to the high moment uplift forces and result in a large reduction of concrete needed for the base. When using steel piles under the concrete base, helical piles typically result in reduced embedment depths versus driven piles due to superior uplift capacity.

What do we do?
