Very cool. I'm just learning more about these for my construction inspection job - this was super helpful!

I've seen these things used on Grand Designs and This Old House. They seem like a very good idea to me. Old houses often have floors that aren't level. Are modern foundation techniques good enough that in most cases the problem of un-level floors is eliminated even over long periods of time? I notice that other techniques are still pretty common for providing stability on unstable soil for house foundations. Do you think over time this idea will displace things like driven piles in house construction?

how do you know how deep you have to go to get to the need resistance? and how long will it last on a rainy(but not floody) area.. and lastly how do you get it to plumb

We have a digital readout for our machine that tells us every second how much torque it’s taking to get the screw to go into that portion of the ground. I’ve been told they have a half-life of 300 years if properly galvanized. I’ve installed them in lakes for permanent docks. I check em every year and am amazed at how they still look brand new!!

Mostly they are put in by eyeball. I have a level that I strap to the pile for the start of the installation and have one of my guys keep an eye on it from the side and I watch from my position on the mini ex.

@@gary24752 it’s verified by myself. I’m a certified helical pile installer and if there’s an issue my pile driver insurance is what it falls back on. I’ve been doing it for 6 years and never had an issue. If I do large commercial project they will have geo tech guy on to verify every pile. Every pile is individually marked and verified on site again by myself.

@@openconceptconstruction6740 That only makes you certified only as an installer but most certainly not for the design of the piles unless you are a registered professional engineer.
