The difference between helicals and push piers as they are like screws and twist into the ground and push piers will push into the ground like nails. Helical piers when installed will be screwed down to the competent, load-bearing soil. They are installed using torque and this is reviewed using a torque monitor. There will be extensions added until that load-bearing soil is reached.

4. Final Review

Once all helicals have been installed, standardly they are reviewed to ensure they have been placed in the areas that the engineer specified, and to the depth and torque requirements. When all is approved and looks good, the repair is stabilized, or all piers for the new construction project look great the installation is complete.
