Why Helical Piles are Better than Concrete Foundations
There are many reasons to choose helical piles vs. concrete foundations - Let's explore.
Simplicity - Quality - Savings - Sustainability
HELICAL PILES VS. CONCRETE
Discover the GoliathTech Service Advantage!
Helical piles vs. concrete foundations: easy installation choice
Say goodbye to heavy machinery, messy excavation, and endless weeks of work! In addition to leaving a minimal impact to the landscape, Goliathtech Utah certified installers offer superior expertise. Our all-terrain equipment, both light and compact, allows us to anchor each pile into the ground with precision no matter soil type.
Pouring concrete, on the other hand, is done in several steps over multiple days. It requires heavy equipment and a lot of manpower, from excavation to the curing of concrete. Essentially slowing down the project time.
Finally, helical screw piles have a huge advantage over concrete, they allow you to reach the ground level that offers the best stability, which is not the case with concrete foundations. Whether you are working with ground water, frozen terrain or rocky soil, the project keeps going.
- Rapid installation
- Minimal excavation
- Any soil type
Helical screw piles vs. concrete: long-term savings
It's true that a helical screw pile costs more than a concrete mix from the hardware store or supplier. However, when you consider all the factors surrounding helical pile installation, it quickly becomes apparent that cost savings come in other forms as well as through the GoliathTech Lifetime warranty. In addition to leaving a minimal impact to the landscape, they provide substantial savings in time and money over the course of the project through quicker installation with no curing times and minimal excavation.
For example, only one person and one day are needed to install helical screw piles. On the other hand, pouring concrete formwork requires a lot more manpower, machinery, and work hours. Not to mention the fact that over time, concrete foundations are less resistant to freeze/thaw movements, and after only a few years, can crack, deteriorate, or collapse. Another important detail is that the extraction of a concrete foundation is much more time consuming and costly than that of a helical pile.
In short, installing a screw pile foundation system costs less than a concrete foundation.
- Smaller labor costs
- Less working hours
Helical screw piles vs. concrete: when quality comes first
Compared to poured concrete, GoliathTech helical piles are a state-of-the-art piece of engineering. Calculated down to the smallest detail, they are more precise than concrete, ensuring a perfectly level foundation. With different types of tubes, helical screw, end caps, piles heads and hundreds of accessories, our helical screw piles are designed to support many projects, terrains, and weather conditions.
From quote to installation, our teams of engineers and certified installers guarantee a high-quality job, without failures or compromises. Finally, GoliathTech's patented products and their installation surpasses the highest quality standards in the industry. The same of which cannot be said for concrete tubes!
- Engineering expertise
- Products that surpass the highest industry standards
Durability that stands the test of time
It is well known that concrete is less resistant to the harsh weather and sudden thermal changes that occur in some of the colder climates of the world. GoliathTech helical screw piles undergo a state-of-the-art galvanization process and are doubly protected against freezing and thawing, making them corrosion-resistant and able to withstand the years without bending.
In addition, GoliathTech screw pile heads are equipped with a nut fastening system. This innovative anchoring solution allows the structure to be attached directly to the helical piles, thus preventing lateral and vertical movement* of the structure. No other poured concrete foundation offers this level of strength and durability.
