  • Spiral Tip to a Helical Pier
    Publication number: 20170198453
    Abstract: A helical pier with a spiral tip is disclosed. The helical pier is comprised of an elongated hollow shaft, one or more helical plates attached to and extending outward from the shaft, and the spiral tip. The spiral tip acts as an attack bit that contacts and penetrates the ground and subsurface soil layers prior to other parts of the helical pier. The spiral tip provides initial breakup of the ground where the helical pier is being driven. The spiral tip is comprised of a longitudinal edge and a spiral rim between a penetrating lead end and a terminating spiral end on the longitudinal edge.
