Square Shaft  Helical Piers (SS)
CHANCE SS series -1.5″ square shaft galvanized helical piers up to 2.25″ solid bar square shaft helical piles to meet your structural needs.

Round Shaft Helical Piers (RS) 
The CHANCE round shaft anchors are produced in a 2.78 pipe pile up to 8″ diameter piles for higher loaded projects.

Combination Helical Piers (SS-RS)
Combination Pile products used mainly in compression applications in areas where soft/loose soils are located about the bearing strata (hard/dense soils).

Helical Pulldown Micropiles
The Helical Pulldown® Micropile (HPM) forms a grout column around the shaft of a standard helical anchor/pile.

HELIX BEARING PLATE

  1. SS5 – Hot rolled carbon steel sheet, strip, or plate per ASTM A572, or A1018, or A656 with minimum yield strength of 50 ksi. Plate thickness is 3⁄8″.
  2. SS150 and SS175 – Hot rolled steel sheet, strip, or plate per ASTM A656 or A1018 with minimum yield strength of 80 ksi. Plate thickness is 3⁄8″.
  3. 278 – Hot rolled steel sheet, strip, or plate per ASTM A36 or A572 with minimum yield strength of 36 ksi. Plate thickness is 3⁄8″.
  4. Helix bearing plates are formed on matching metal dies to true helical shape.

HELICAL PIER SHAFT

  2. SS150 (11⁄2″ solid steel shaft), and SS175 (13⁄4″ solid steel shaft) – Hot rolled Round-Cornered-Square (RCS) conforming to the general requirements of ASTM A29. High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA), low to medium carbon steel grade with improved strength due to fine grain size.
  3. 278 – Structural steel tube or pipe, welded or seamless, in compliance with ASTM A500. Wall thickness is 0.203 inch (Schedule 40). Torque strength rating is 5,500 ft-lb. Minimum yield strength is 50 ksi. Minimum ultimate tension/compression strength is 60 kip.

EXTENSION SECTION COUPLINGS

  1. Shall be formed as integral part of the plain extension shaft material. For SS anchors, couplings shall be hot upset forged sockets.
  2. Shall be formed as integral part of the plain extension shaft material. For 278 material, couplings shall be hot upset expanded sockets.

FOUNDATION REPAIR BRACKET

  1. Brackets are formed from steel that meets or exceeds the requirements of ASTM A36, and have a hot-dipped galvanized coating per ASTM A153.
