Two common misunderstandings about helical pile systems

Two common misunderstandings about helical pile systems:
Frist, Helical pile is a new product in foundation construction？
Helical pile was invented by Alexander Mitchell in England in the early 1830s, initially for supporting lighthouses in loose sandy soils. But it was quickly discovered and applied to projects such as bridges and docks.
So helical piles have a history of more than 200 years, such as the Chesapeake Bay Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse, which has been standing in ice streams, storms and waves for 147 years with the support of screw pile systems. And it is more and more widely used in various modern engineering constructions today.
Second, The supporting capacity of helical piles is only suitable for lightweight projects.
Depending on the specification, the supporting capacity of the helical piles is also different. In the projects we have worked with, helical piles capable of supporting over one million pounds of weight. It is worth mentioning that in soft soil, the screw pile also has a high lateral bearing capacity.
