When constructing homes, commercial buildings, or infrastructure, ensuring a strong foundation is essential. Load-bearing foundations in Utah face unique challenges due to the state’s varying soil conditions, including sandy, clay-rich, and expansive soils. Utah Screw Pile & Helical Pier provides an innovative solution with CHANCE® Helical Piles, which offer superior stability and adaptability for both new construction and foundation retrofits.
The Role of Helical Piles in Load-Bearing Foundations
Helical piles are steel shafts with helical plates designed to be installed deep into the soil using controlled torque. Unlike traditional concrete footings, they transfer the structural load to stable soil layers without requiring extensive excavation. This makes load-bearing foundations in Utah more resilient, especially in areas with loose or shifting soils.
For example, in regions with expansive clay, which contracts and expands with moisture changes, CHANCE® Helical Piles provide a reliable foundation by reducing soil movement. In sandy or loose soils, they anchor structures, preventing settlement or shifting.

How Utah Screw Pile & Helical Pier Enhances Structural Stability
At Utah Screw Pile & Helical Pier, we integrate helical piles into standard footings to enhance their load-bearing capacity. Engineers calculate the increased support per pile, allowing for stronger foundations with less concrete and a smaller structural footprint. This not only makes projects more cost-efficient but also improves overall structural integrity.
Additional benefits of CHANCE® Helical Piles include:
- Fast Installation – No curing time needed, build as soon as we start loading the truck
- Minimal Vibration & Noise – Ideal for urban and environmentally sensitive sites
- Adaptability – Works in various soil types, yes even Heber and Park City
- Strong Load-Bearing Capacity – Supports residential and commercial structures, up to 250K per pier
