Team Elmer's

Team Elmer's is a Traverse City, Michigan, contractor and materials supplier. Its site lists asphalt paving, excavation, ready mix and precast concrete, aggregates, crane services, snow removal and more, and the listing gives a founding year of 1956.

Helical piers are one line in a piers and piles group that also includes auger cast piles, field load testing, H steel piles, helical tiebacks, micro piles, push piers, sheet piles and wood piles. That puts helical work inside a large heavy civil and site development operation, which can suit municipal and commercial projects that need excavation, crane work and deep foundations from one contractor. The site does not detail its helical pile process.

Call +1 231-943-3443 and ask for the piling group. Ask about pile sizes and capacities, load testing, how installation torque is recorded, and whether engineering and permits are included.
