When are helical anchors used?
Helical anchors can be used to secure new foundations or repair existing ones. They’re used for lighthouses, roads, rail, telecommunication, and in many other industries that require fast installation or building near existing structures. Signs, retaining structures, and masts are other common uses since they’re suitable for compression as well as tensile loads.
The anchors can also be used to repair your property’s existing foundation and cracked or leaning walls.
What are the benefits of helical anchors?
- A helical anchor offers numerous advantages, which include:
- Ease of installation and removal
- Installation in any weather condition and across restricted access sites
- Reduces a project’s carbon footprint
- Saves time on projects
- Reduces transport costs since there is little soil disturbance, so there’s no need to carry excess soil from the site
- There’s little to no vibration
- Reduces foundation costs
