Helical Pier Applications for Elevator Pits

Elevator Pits

Helical piers make a strong and fast foundation for commercial new construction. The patented PierTech system and the new construction bracket allow for quick and easy installation. Without the need for concrete, there are no delays due to weather or wait times for curing.

Why use PierTech's system?

Our helical piers have been tested and refined in the tough training grounds of commercial construction.
Using the PierTech system allows for a quick and easy installation, and it can save you up to 50% on labor costs.
The PierTech system allows for easy installation for commercial new construction of elevated parking garages.

Features / Benefits

Can save you up to 50% in labor costs
Speed up the construction schedule
Low noise and vibration free
All-weather installation
Low investment to equip excavators or backhoes
Installs faster than most other deep foundation methods
Helicals from 2-7/8" to 48" diameters

Installation Instructions

Excavate the area where the foundation is to be installed.
Excavate each pier location if needed, but is not necessary.
Install helical lead section next to the foundation and add extension until required torque and/or depth is achieved.
Place new construction brackets on top of the helical extension and secure with nuts and bolts.

Project Materials

Product	Product Description	Application Description
Helical Lead Section	Pipe section with one or more welded helical bearing plates	Typical lead section 2-7/8", 3-1/2" with a Cross-Lock Coupler, or a Hercules Pile 5', 7', or 10' long pipe, with a single Helix, double, or triple Helix, and Cross-Lock coupler.
Helical Extension Sections	Pipe section with Cross-Lock Couplings welded to each side	Typically requires 1 to 4 - 2-7/8", 3-1/2" Cross-Lock Extensions or a Hercules Pile Extension 5', 7', or 10' long for an overall length of 14' to 50' depth. Attaches to lead section.
New Construction Bracket	Steel plate welded to a Cross-Lock Coupling or Coupling for the Hercules Pile System	Typical New Construction cap bolts on top of the helical extension section.
Helical Equipment Package	Hydraulic rotary motor and gearbox attached to a power source used to install the pile into the ground	The helical equipment package will normally be mounted to a skid steer or excavator, and the standard installation drive heads will range from 6,000 ft-lbs to 360,000 ft-lbs. A digital or analog torque monitor will be used to calculate the pile's capacity.
