Grouted Helical Piles

The Hybrid Advantage: Strength Meets Low Impact

CNT Geotechnical’s grouted helical piles are engineered for projects that demand high load capacity in difficult soil conditions. By integrating a high-strength grout column around the central shaft, this hybrid system significantly increases skin friction—doubling load capacity—while preserving the low-vibration, low-disturbance benefits of traditional helical pile installation.

ICC-ESR Certified

CNT Geotechnical products are backed by an ICC-ESR report, the industry-standard verification that our manufacturing process consistently meets code requirements. This certification ensures that the products we deliver are identical in quality and performance to those submitted for independent testing—giving you confidence in every pile we install.

Helical Pile Types

Grouted
helical piles

Grouted helical piles offer the advantage of 100% increased load capacity in similar soil conditions compared to traditional helical piles.

Cased grouted
helical piles

The cased grout column is primarily used to resist higher lateral loads or in applications where the pile will be exposed, such as for excavation support.

How it works

Installation
Length Adjustment & Grout Application
Grouted helical piles are installed by advancing the steel shaft into the ground using a torque motor. The helical bearing plates cut through the soil, generating resistance and allowing the pile to reach the required depth.

What to Look for in a Geotechnical Vendor

Engineering and Production

CNT geotechnical

In house engineering

Ensures ability to design to a higher degree of accuracy a pile that fits the project requirements. It also to schedule engineering for higher priority jobs since we have control over that are not beholden to a subcontractor.

CNT geotechnical

Yes

Helix diameters 8” to 36" and shaft diameters 2" to 24"

The ability to design a pile that truly fits the requirements of the site

CNT geotechnical

Yes

New certified steel

Code compliance, used, recycled, and rejected steel has a failure potential.

CNT geotechnical

Yes

Uses American Made and Sourced materials

Many contracts require American sourced materials, non American materials do not have as stringent quality in their steel as American suppliers. Lastly, we like to support American workers.

CNT geotechnical

Yes

End bearing combined with skin friction

The ability for the pile to carry additional loads

CNT geotechnical

Yes

Hot dip galvanized

An additional protection layer against corrosion

CNT geotechnical

Yes

Seismic Code compliant

Protects the structure in the event of an earthquake

CNT geotechnical

Yes

Service

CNT geotechnical

Rapid Response Install Team

This ensures that projects with tight timelines can be completed without delays in the overall schedule.

CNT geotechnical

Yes

Certified welders

Ensures that all the welding is performed with properly trained welders with certificates proving they are competent in their trade

CNT geotechnical

Yes

No weld failures

The weld is the critical component that holds the system together; if the weld fails, the system fails.

CNT geotechnical

Yes

Lifetime warranty

Hundreds of thousands of piles in the ground without a single failure and guarantees in writing that anything constructed will never move.

CNT geotechnical

Yes
