Commercial Helical Pile Systems in [Target Location]

Legacy Supportworks installs commercial helical pile systems for code-compliant deep foundation support for new construction and existing buildings.

What Are Commercial Helical Pile Systems?

Commercial helical piles, also called helical piers or screw piles, are steel shafts fitted with helix-shaped bearing plates that are twisted into the ground to carry structural loads through weak or variable soils to competent bearing strata.

Helical piles can support compression and tension loads, as well as lateral loads when properly configured, making them a fit for both new construction and retrofit applications. Installation torque is monitored as each pile is installed to help verify it has reached the required capacity.

Why Engineers and Contractors Choose Helical Piles

Helical piles don’t need the weight of an existing structure to install. That makes them a versatile option for new construction, additions and existing structures where building weight, access or site conditions can limit the use of push piers. They also offer several advantages during installation:

  • New or existing structures: Can be installed before construction begins or used to support existing foundations.
  • Works in tight spaces: Compact equipment can work with restricted access and limited overhead clearance.
  • Less site disruption: Installation requires limited excavation and produces minimal vibration.
  • Flexible installation: Pile configurations can be designed around project loads and subsurface conditions.
  • Verified as installed: Torque is tracked during installation to help confirm each pile meets project requirements.

Don't just take our word for it

See what our customers have to say about our work.

Legacy SupportWorks was referred to me by Bernie Sanders with Sir Speedy. When doors began to not close properly and there were noticeable gaps between the floor and molding, we knew it was time to get some foundation work done on our home. We shopped around and were pleased with the value and responsiveness of Legacy Support Works. I felt comfortable with them in my home, they delivered what they promised when they promised and left my home clean. From Tessa who made the initial contact, to the gentleman putting my carpet back in place, customer service was outstanding.

Before & after photos

Check out before and after photos from some of our completed projects.

  • Stabilizing a Crawlspace in Pampa, TX

    This home had crawlspace beams that were cracking and lacked stabilization. 

    Years of shimming had only been a “band-aid” fix and this customer was looking for a permanent solution.

    Our crew installed steel beams and steel smartjacks on engineered fill.

    The result was a permanently stabilized floor!

  • Concrete Repair in Spearman, TX

    A customer reached out after seeing a video of concrete lifting using injection methods and wondered if it could work for their front porch. Their home, built in 1968, features a large concrete porch with a section that originally had a planter between it and the house. At some point, the planter was covered with concrete, which has since sunk about 4 inches. Both sections measure approximately 8×12. While the porch itself was fine, they wanted a solution to lift the concrete over the old planter rather than starting from scratch. Legacy inspected the situation and provided a tailored solution to restore their home.

  • Foundation Repair in Guymon, Oklahoma

    Just four years after adding a first porch for relaxation, a homeowner in Guymon, OK found himself facing a disheartening problem – his beloved porch had settled a shocking 2 feet into the ground, taking his dreams of peaceful rocking chair afternoons with it. As depicted in our before photo, this alarming sinkage rendered the space unusable. To lift and stabilize the sinking structure, we deployed our trusted Push Pier system, meticulously engineered to provide strength and elevation from deep below the surface. The transformation is apparent in the after photo, where the porch now stands level and secure, promising many future years of comfort and stability. At Legacy Supportworks, reviving your home’s foundation to ensure lifelong enjoyment and safety is not just our mission—it’s our commitment to you.

Commercial Helical Pile Systems FAQs

Can helical piles be installed inside an occupied commercial building?2026-10-06T11:37:36-05:00

In some cases, yes. Helical piles can be installed using relatively compact equipment and produce limited vibration, making them an option for some occupied buildings and restricted-access areas. Feasibility comes down to access, overhead clearance, pile locations, structural requirements and operating conditions within the facility. 

Can helical piles be installed in any soil?2026-10-06T11:36:58-05:00

No. Helical piles perform in many soil conditions, but they are not right for every site. Dense material, cobbles, boulders, shallow bedrock and other subsurface conditions may limit installation. A review of site conditions and geotechnical information helps determine whether helical piles are appropriate and how the system should be configured. 

How long do helical piles last?2026-10-06T11:36:27-05:00

Helical piles are designed for long-term structural support. Expected service life depends on the pile system, soil conditions, corrosion potential and any required protective coatings or treatments. Durability and corrosion protection should be evaluated based on the conditions and required design of the specific commercial project.

How do helical piles compare to driven piles and drilled shafts?2026-10-06T11:35:53-05:00

Helical piles are screwed into the ground rather than driven or installed in a drilled excavation. They typically require smaller installation equipment, generate less vibration and soil disturbance, and do not require concrete curing. The appropriate deep foundation system depends on structural loads, soil conditions, access, project specifications and other site requirements.

Are helical piles approved by building codes?2026-10-06T11:35:09-05:00

Helical pile systems can be designed and evaluated for use under applicable building codes. Code requirements depend on the system, project and local jurisdiction, and commercial projects can require engineering, permitting and inspection. Legacy Supportworks can coordinate with the project team to address applicable design and documentation requirements. 

How deep do helical piles need to be installed?2026-10-06T11:34:30-05:00

There is no set installation depth for a helical pile. Piles are advanced until project-specific depth and installation torque criteria are achieved. Required depths can vary across the same site as soil conditions change, so piles are installed based on actual subsurface conditions rather than to one predetermined depth. 

How much weight can a commercial helical pile support? 2026-10-06T11:33:51-05:00

Helical pile capacity comes down to the pile model and configuration, soil conditions, structural loads and installation requirements. Commercial systems are offered in a range of capacities to meet different project requirements. The appropriate pile size, spacing and configuration are determined as part of the project-specific design.

What are helical piles and how do they work?2026-10-06T11:32:57-05:00

Helical piles are steel foundation supports made with a central shaft and one or more helix-shaped plates. They are advanced into the ground with rotational force until they meet the installation criteria set for the project. The piles then transfer structural loads from the foundation into competent bearing soils below weaker or unsuitable soils.
