Foundations are the strength and backbone of any structure. One of the first steps of construction of a foundation is building the pilings that the rest of the foundation is constructed from. One of the most common designs used for this job is the helical piles. There are some advantages in having a helical pile as part of your foundation.
One of the advantages of Helical Piles in Mississippi is that there is no delay in pouring the foundation after they are installed. These piles do not require a cure time because they use no grouting or concrete in their construction process. Thus, the schedule does not have to account for drying or curing times that are required for other types of piles. This allows the next phase of the construction to begin quickly.
Another advantage of helical piles is that they can be removed after they have been installed. This flexibility is critical if you have temporary buildings that still need to be adequately supported for different activities. Once the building is no longer needed, the piles can be removed in a similar manner that they were installed. While they can be removed at a later date, they are still structurally sound enough to support permanent buildings as well.
Helical Piles in Mississippi are also easier to install than other types of piling. Because they don’t require special conditions to install, construction projects can be scheduled when it is most convenient. In addition, there isn’t as much dirt removal needed after the project is completed. If the dirt specifications are considered hazardous, this minimizes the amount of time and money needed to remove it. The piles can also be installed with a minimum of heavy equipment that is standard for the industry. No specialized equipment is needed for the installation process.
The ease of construction, the flexibility of removal and the ability to be used quickly are some of the advantages of using helical piles as a base for the foundation.
