Adjustable pile head attachments boast many significant advantages. Installed with threaded rods, the system provides leveling flexibility, which allows for quicker, easier installation and a greater margin of measurement error.
Unfortunately, helical (screw) piles with adjustable heads rarely meet today's engineering requirements. In nearly all cases, adjustable heads are not fixed to the piles, using gravity only to remain in place. As a result, these heads are vulnerable to high winds, flooding, and other natural phenomena. For this reason, unfixed heads are rarely to code, even though they remain prevalent among uninformed buyers.
GoliathTech adjustable heads: A smarter choice
Wanting to give builders the best of both worlds, GoliathTech's engineers designed a screw pile system with an adjustable head that meets all compression, tension, and lateral engineering specs. The system combines a threaded rod with a receptacle that's fixed to the helical pile with bolts.
And because it's patented, it's the only screw pile system that simultaneously features an adjustable head and complete uplift resistance that's to code. The exclusive solution offers builders peace of mind and construction franchisees an incredibly competitive advantage.
The anatomy of innovation
To ensure the most solid support possible, GoliathTech uses 60KSI galvanized steel for piles and heads and 90KSI steel for its rods. Installed deep into the ground below freezing level, the helical piles feature polyurethane-filled tubes that prevent ice from accumulating inside.
And as was mentioned, to prevent lateral and vertical movement, adjustable pile heads are equipped with a patented nut-fastening system that allows the structure to be installed directly on the piles. The ingenious design ensures zero movements while supporting the required loads.
Additional helical pile benefits
Beyond its patented adjustable heads, GoliathTech helical (screw) piles offer exceptional worksite convenience on all fronts:
- Removable, they can be installed with only minimal damage to landscapes or structures
- No concrete setting means you can start building immediately after installation
- They're suited for any season, soil conditions, or restricted space
- Underpinned brackets stabilize and lift sunken building structures
- Multiple helixes options and tube sizes meet all tension and compression requirements
- Superior resistance to wrenching
Applications
Highly customizable and easily adjustable, GoliathTech helical piles accommodate foundation projects from sheds to solar panels. The anchoring solution offers greater building ease and engineering superiority to concrete pilings. Because of their leveling capabilities, they're particularly sought after for decks and manufactured homes.
Screw pile heads franchisees can rely on
It's worth once again highlighting that even though unfixed adjustable piles are available to builders doesn't mean they're to code. In fact, there are very few cases where the National Building Code does not require uplift resistance for a structure.
For instance, uplift resistance is necessary if a structure is more than 24 inches off the ground, attached to a home, has a roof, or is more than one story. In other words, without GoliathTech's exclusive adjustable head system with uplift resistance, builders must choose between working with fixed heads or sidestepping regulations. Moreover, helical pile requirements are only going to become increasingly stringent in the coming years.
Investing in GoliathTech's competitively priced adjustable pile heads means easing the foundation process while insuring one's property against a slew of natural disasters. And as a franchisee, you'll be the gatekeeper to an advanced technology that's a strong selling point for new customers. The winning solution sets construction businesses apart with quality and customer satisfaction.
