Are There Specialized Plates for Attaching Helical Piers to Existing Concrete?

Yes, there are specialized attachments designed specifically for connecting helical systems to existing concrete. These components serve as the critical interface for load transfer and structural stabilization.

Key specialized attachments include:

  • Helical Pier Retrofit Brackets: These are load-transfer devices used for settlement repair. They connect existing foundation footings to helical piers, lifting and stabilizing the structure by directing its weight down to load-bearing soil strata through the pier shaft.
  • Tieback Termination Plates: These specialized plates are used in wall stabilization applications. They secure helical tieback anchors to existing concrete basement or retaining walls, transferring tensile loads into competent soil to stabilize the structure.
  • Adjustable Brackets: These specialized versions of underpinning brackets feature on-site adjustment capabilities to ensure a tight, secure fit against uneven or deteriorated concrete surfaces.

These attachments are available in various sizes and bolt patterns to accommodate different wall thicknesses, footing widths, and load requirements. Most specialized plates and brackets are manufactured with hot-dip galvanization for corrosion resistance and carry ICC-ES certification to verify they meet building code standards.
