The performance of BC helical piles depends on a combination of factors, and one of the most critical yet often overlooked is the shaft diameter. This single element influences how the pile resists loads, transfers forces into the soil, and performs over the long term—especially in challenging ground conditions. Understanding the engineering behind shaft diameter helps ensure that...

Construction projects on unstable or difficult ground often come with added financial concerns—particularly around insurance. Insurers weigh risk carefully, and foundations placed on poor soils, flood-prone zones, or areas susceptible to frost heave typically face stricter conditions. Choosing the right foundation system can therefore influence not only the structural integrity of a...
