Helix Steel Pier Contractor: South Coast Helix Foundations, Inc.

Dixie Anchoring System Steel Piers were installed to support a new interior mezzanine floor. The project consisted of four (4) column supports inside an existing building with limited vertical clearance. At each column support, the concrete floor was saw cut and was excavated 18" below the top of the concrete floor. South Coast Helix Foundations, Inc. installed eight (8) helix steel piers each to carry between 20,000 lb to 25,000 lb load. Each helix steel pier was a 1 ½" x 1 ½" rounded corner solid square steel shaft with a single lead section consisting of an 8" diameter bearing plate. The top attachment bracket for new construction (plate series) was then bolted to the top of the helix steel piers and will be cast into a reinforced concrete pier cap. A steel support column will then be bolted to the concrete pier cap for the new mezzanine floor. The project was completed in one (1) day!
