Helical Pile Pricing
Working with helical piles is anything but standardized. Each project has its own set of challenges that affect pricing, and the steel market’s fluctuations make it difficult to offer a budget without reviewing a project. What we can do is guide you through the factors likely to impact costs so you can plan more confidently.
Pile Depth
The length of the pile typically has the biggest impact on pile cost. With helical piles its also important to consider the amount of extension sections needed as each added section increases the material and labor costs. Using longer extension sections can reduce total pile cost and increase installation rates.
Pile Shaft Diameter
The piles shaft diameter is usually controlled by loading requirement and soil conditions. Steel is a larger contributor to the overall product cost, so the more steel required, the higher the cost.
Material Requirements
The origin and grade of steel have a significant effect on helical pile pricing. Using high-yield domestic steel ensures quality and compliance with stringent standards but results in increased material costs compared to lower-yield or imported alternatives.
Components of a helical pile
Get Familiar
A typical helical unit is shown here. It consists of a central steel shaft, to which can be attached one or more steel helices. The central shaft can be extended with bolted extension pieces as needed. Helical piles are highly configurable, allowing them to meet the needs of a variety of applications and be adapted to site specific challenges.
Square Shaft from 1.5” to 2” and Round Shaft from 2.875” to 24” in diameter
Can support loads up to 200 tons
Easily removed and reused in temporary applications
