The Faster, Stronger, Smarter Way to Install Round Shaft Helical Piers
When it comes to round shaft helical piers, strength and stability are essential—especially in compression applications where performance matters most. But for years, contractors and installers have faced a common problem: time-consuming, torque-induced bolt hole deformation during installation.
As torque increases during installation, traditional through-bolt connections can deform, causing misalignment and frustrating delays. Often, more time is spent trying to align and insert bolts than actually advancing the pier. This not only slows down the job, but also increases the risk of injury and inconsistency in the field.
PierTech’s Cross Lock™ Connection changes everything.
This patented system was engineered to solve the most common pain points in helical pile installation. Awarded ICC-ES Evaluation Report ESR-3969 for our 2.875" round shaft system, Cross Lock™ provides an instant-lock, steel-on-steel coupling that is both field-proven and code-compliant.
With Cross Lock™, there are no more deformed holes, no more alignment guesswork, and no more lost time. Simply align, connect, and continue.
