AB Chance has been the worlds leading manufacturer of helical piles for many years and 
is one of their Certified helical pile installation contractors for Florida. The helical anchor/pile we install are a segmented deep foundation system with helical bearing plates welded to a central steel shaft. The load is transferred from the shaft to the soil through these bearing plates. Combinations are also available for compression applications in soil conditions where dense/hard soils must be penetrated with softer/loose soils above the bearing strata.
The shaft segments or sections are joined with bolted couplings. The installation depth is limited only by soil density and practicality based on economics. The AB Chance helical bearing plate or helix is one pitch of a screw thread. All of the helices, regardless of their diameter, have a standard 3" pitch. Because they have a true helical shape, the helices do not auger into the soil but rather screw into it with minimal soil disturbance. The AB Chance helical plates are spaced at distances far enough apart that they function independently as individual bearing elements; consequently, the capacity of a particular helix on a helical anchor/pile shaft is not influenced by the helix above or below it.

Over 90 years of research, development and testing have advanced our Instant Foundation® System to its present mature stage. Compared to traditional methods, the Instant Foundation System offers attractive benefits in the conservation of labor, materials, equipment and, especially, time. Power-installed foundation anchors have been proved in thousands of installations throughout the world. Chance engineers have installed, tested and retrieved
countless foundation anchors to confirm performance and durability. The amount of torsional force required to install a foundation anchor relates to its installed ultimate capacity. This means that holding strengths are predictable in most soils by choosing a foundation anchor based on soil data and by measuring torque during installation.
