Helical piles in New Harmony, Utah

New Harmony is in southwestern Utah, where hillside lots and open land are common. Helical piers suit retaining wall and slope-stabilization support, ground-mount solar arrays and light commercial pads, and they are screwed in with hydraulic equipment even where access is limited.

The Utah Geological Survey notes that collapsible soils are typically associated with young alluvial fans, debris flows, and loess. Because both swelling and collapsing soils move with moisture, the survey recommends a geotechnical investigation by licensed professionals before building on problem soils.

The same guide notes that hand-digging around landscaping or structures can add $200 to $500 per pier. Costs in New Harmony depend on how deep the stable layer is, how many piers are needed and site access. See our helical pier cost guide.

Questions to put to any installer in New Harmony:

• Who is the engineer of record, and what load and depth are they designing to?
• Do you provide torque readings for every pier at the end of the job?
• Are the shafts and brackets hot-dip galvanized, and what shaft size do you plan to use?
• Will you obtain the permit for my New Harmony address, and is the warranty in writing?

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