In the energy industry, helical piles serve as an excellent solution for a multitude of applications. Also referred to as ‘helical anchors’, these piles excel in resisting both compression and tension loads, making them particularly suitable for use on solar and wind farms. In these settings, helical piles support the load of solar panels or wind turbines while also effectively countering wind pressure.

National Grid substations represent another ideal application area where helical piles excel in supporting steel structures. With minimal disruption to existing working areas, helical piles allow the continued functionality of the existing substation while additional foundations can be seamlessly added to expand the site’s capacity.

Helical piles offer minimal ground disruption and eliminate the need for concrete, making them compatible with green energy operations without compromising structural support.

Common uses of helical piles in the energy industry include:
