Engineering-aligned planning
Engineering review integrates design load criteria, geotechnical documentation, and subsurface data to define required pier size and installation depth for each project condition.
Geotechnical & Structural Foundation Support
Engineered helical pier solutions across the Western U.S. for demanding load and soil conditions.
We provide helical pier engineering support and installation services for geotechnical firms, structural engineers, contractors, and developers across Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Nevada, aligning load requirements, subsurface data, installation depth, and torque criteria through documented project closeout.
- Engineered helical pier support with design-team coordination
- Specified depth, torque, and installation record verification
- Regional coverage for Western U.S. foundation projects
Services & Capabilities
Engineering-led planning, verified installation performance, and coordinated project delivery.
Our team evaluates design load criteria alongside geotechnical reports and subsurface findings to develop project-specific helical pier recommendations, including modeled diameter and depth parameters aligned with required foundation performance.
Dependable installation execution
Field crews install to specified depth and torque criteria using advanced torque monitoring technology, with each installation recorded and graphed against project requirements and retained for technical verification and closeout documentation.
Project-team coordination
We coordinate with engineers, contractors, and ownership teams to maintain alignment between design intent, field sequencing, and installation reporting throughout execution.
Installation capacity by pier size
Our installation program includes 1.5 inch to 3 inch helical piers for lighter-load demands, tieback applications, and comparable support conditions, as well as 4 inch, 6 inch, 8 inch, 10 inch, and 12 inch piers for high-capacity systems and large-load facility applications.

Technical FAQ
Preconstruction guidance for helical pier projects
Focused technical responses to help engineering and construction teams align scope, constraints, and next-step coordination.
How do you determine whether helical piers are suitable for a project?
Suitability is evaluated against required loads, subsurface profile, access limitations, and performance criteria. We review available geotechnical and structural data to confirm feasibility and establish a preliminary installation basis.
How do you coordinate with the engineer of record?
Coordination is structured around design intent, loading assumptions, acceptance criteria, and documentation protocols. Field observations and torque data are delivered in a format suitable for design-team review and verification.
When in the schedule should installation be planned?
Preconstruction alignment should occur early so access, sequencing, and verification requirements are integrated before mobilization. Installation is typically scheduled after site layout and access are established, and before dependent structural activities.
What site constraints can affect helical pier installation?
Headroom limits, tight setbacks, existing utilities, subsurface obstructions, and access logistics can affect tooling selection, pier configuration, and production rates. Early definition of constraints reduces field risk and schedule disruption.
What pier sizes and installation capacities do you support?
Installation capability includes 1.5-inch to 3-inch helical piers for lighter-load and tieback applications, and 4-inch, 6-inch, 8-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch systems for high-capacity and large-load foundation support.
What information is most useful to include in an inquiry?
Provide project location, structure type, design loads, available geotechnical information, known constraints, and target schedule. Preliminary plans are sufficient for an initial technical review and a practical response strategy.
