Helical Anchors Inc.

Six disciplines. One foundation system.

We manage the entire process, from the engineer's first sketch to the final installed pile. Innovation, quality, design, consulting, installation and manufacturing under one roof.

Innovation

We brought patented inertia-weld technology to deep foundations and continue to improve it through new helix geometries, faster torque monitoring and more precise corrosion modeling.

Batch tested
02

Quality

Every pile is destructive-tested by batch. Every weld is forged, not filled. Every shipment is documented end-to-end. ISO 9001 audited, ICC-ES listed (ESR-3982), and built to a 100+ year service life.

Design

Our engineers custom-design every helical pile to your soil report, structural load, and install method. Each design is project-specific, from a single residential pier to a 200-MW solar array.

Installation

A nationwide network of certified installers, plus in-house support on every project. Torque-monitored installation provides full as-built documentation and a recorded capacity for every pile.

Manufacturing

Vertically integrated in Minneapolis. We cold-roll, inertia-weld and hot-dip galvanize each system under one roof. Stocked inventory ships the same day, while custom builds are completed in three weeks or less.

Inertia weld manufacturing
Patented

The inertia weld floor.

Conventional helix-to-shaft welds rely on filler metal and create a heat-affected zone at the pile’s weakest point. Our patented inertia process generates the weld through friction alone: continuous forged grain, no porosity, no slag, no HAZ. The result is a joint stronger than the parent steel.

  • Solid-state friction weld
  • No filler metal
  • No heat-affected zone
  • Forged-grain continuity
  • 2× shear vs. gusset weld
  • Hot-dip galvanized to ASTM A123

How a project gets from soil report to as-built.

01
Engineer

Soil analysis + load review define pile geometry, helix configuration, and install torque target.

02
Manufacture

Inertia welding, hot-dip galvanizing and batch testing in our Minneapolis facility.

03
Install

Torque-monitored installation by our certified network. Capacity verified pile-by-pile.

04
Certify

Full as-built submittal with torque logs, capacity correlation and warranty documentation.
