How Helical Piles Resist Uplift Forces—and Why It Matters for Your Project

Atlas Piling30 Jul, 2025Business

Helical piles resist uplift through both their mechanical design and the soil’s interaction with their helices. These piles are screwed deep into the ground, anchoring themselves with circular steel plates (or helices) that effectively grip the soil and resist pull-out. The deeper the pile and the more helices used, the more resistance is generated against uplift.
