Wall Township

Helical piles in Wall Township, New Jersey

Wall Township sits on the Jersey Shore side of the Coastal Plain. According to the Geology of New Jersey overview, that region is a wedge of unconsolidated sediments, and a USGS fact sheet describes its soils as flat, thick and sandy, with a high water table in many low areas.

Sand and shallow groundwater make poor footing for shallow concrete. Helical piles reach firm soil through fill and soft layers, and installers log torque so the engineer can confirm the intended bearing layer. Typical jobs include deck and sunroom footings, underpinning, and raised homes in shore communities.
