​
Helical piles are typically 2-7/8” diameter and 1/4” thick (but can vary) steel pipes with a support bracket and typically a 10” rotary disc (but can vary) that allows it to penetrate the ground when torque pressure is added to the driving head to accomplish various depths and acquire the load capacity needed for the application.
