Installation Monitoring of Helical Piles and Anchors for Quality Control and Performance Verification
Like many other types of deep foundations, the behavior of helical piles and anchors may depend on the quality of the installation. Poor quality installation generally produces poor performance. Installation monitoring of helical piles and anchors is essential on all projects and can assist the engineer in evaluating and validating axial capacity. The installation monitoring of helical piles and anchors should be required on projects by the engineer and should be included in contract specifications as a routine part of the use of helical piles and anchors. The methodology is analogous to monitoring of other deep foundations. Key parameters for monitoring installation of helical piles and anchors include incremental torque, advance (number of rotations per unit of advance), and advance speed or rpms. Methods currently being used in the field are described and examples from several sites are presented illustrating typical results from installation monitoring and the impact of poor quality installation on behavior.
