At times helical piles are better than just Shallow Foundations

In many applications helical piles are cost and time effective in soft soil applications.

Helical piles eliminate the need to excavate and remove soft soils.  Benefits include:

Time:  Helical piles can be installed quicker than the time required just for the excavation

No soils disposal

No back fill to purchase and haul in.  Eliminate bridging problems where you have high water table.

Time and cost to back fill, compact, and test

Smaller spread footers

Reduced concern for differential settlement
