CHANCE adds GroutForce displacement piles to its free HeliCAP design software
Hubbell's free, cloud-based HeliCAP software now designs CHANCE GroutForce grouted displacement piles, which Hubbell rates for axial capacities above 500 kips in loose to dense sand and soft to firm clay. Engineers can size GroutForce foundations in the same tool they use for CHANCE helical piles, anchors, tiebacks and soil nails.

Why it matters
Hubbell says the grout column can cut required shaft length by half or more, so designers can now check in HeliCAP whether a shorter GroutForce pile beats a longer conventional helical before a job is bid.
