Harvey Cedars

Helical piles in Harvey Cedars, New Jersey

Harvey Cedars is on Long Beach Island, a shore community where raised homes, docks and flood-prone lots are common helical pile uses in New Jersey. The USGS fact sheet describes Coastal Plain soils as flat, thick and sandy with a high water table, which makes poor footing for shallow concrete near the shore and back bays.

Designers account for groundwater and for corrosion exposure near salt water. Installers log torque so the engineer can confirm each pile reached the intended bearing layer.

Questions to put to any installer in Harvey Cedars:

• Is the design engineered for my site conditions, or based on a standard pier schedule?
• How do you verify capacity during installation, and can I see the torque logs?
• What is the shaft size, and what corrosion protection does it carry?
• Which permits does Harvey Cedars require for this work, and who is responsible for them?

Get written quotes from at least two companies and ask each to explain how the pier count and depth were determined.
