Helical piles in Manchester Township, New Jersey

Manchester Township is on New Jersey's Coastal Plain, which covers roughly three-fifths of the state according to the Geology of New Jersey overview. A USGS fact sheet describes its soils as flat, thick and sandy, with a high water table in many low areas, which makes poor footing for shallow concrete.

Helical piers are screwed in with compact hydraulic equipment, and installers typically log torque so the engineer can confirm the pile reached the intended bearing layer. Common uses include decks, sunrooms, garages and ground-mount solar.
