Choosing the wrong foundation type for your building project can lead to costly structural settlement down the road.

Our latest blog breaks down the pros, cons, and best applications for every major residential and commercial foundation type.

• Slab-on-grade foundations are cost-effective but remain highly vulnerable to soil expansion and freezing.
• Pier and beam setups offer great crawlspace access but require ongoing moisture and pest control.
• Helical piers provide superior deep support for unstable soils, poor drainage, and heavy load demands.

Diameter isn’t everything.

Put two 2⅞-inch helical piers next to each other and they might look comparable. Put them under serious torque and the differences start showing.

The thinner-wall pier began twisting before ultimately breaking at 8,500 ft-lb.

Same diameter. Different construction. Different performance.

When you’re choosing a pier, look beyond the size on the spec sheet. What’s actually built into that diameter matters.

It broke at 8,500 ft-lb. But that’s not the most important part.

Before this thin-wall 2⅞-inch pier actually failed, it started twisting.

That deformation matters. A pier doesn’t have to completely break for its performance under load to raise concerns. How the steel behaves as torque increases can tell you just as much as the final failure point.

Don’t just look at when it breaks. Look at what happens before it gets there.

Meet the 4½-inch. 💪

Built for projects that demand serious capacity, this FnD helical pier pushed our testing equipment all the way to its 19,000 ft-lb torque limit.

The equipment maxed out. The pier didn’t.

When the loads get bigger, you need a foundation system built to match.

Installation is more than installation day.

Before a helical pier ever goes into the ground, there’s planning, preparation, coordination, and engineering that has to happen behind the scenes.

At FnD Piers, we focus on getting the entire process right so when installation day comes, the team is ready and the project can move forward with confidence.

The work starts long before we arrive on site.

A shifting or unstable foundation can derail your entire construction project if you don't choose the right deep foundation method.

Our latest blog compares auger piles and helical piers so you can pick the safest, most cost-effective foundation for your site.

• Auger piles handle massive heavy-duty loads but require concrete curing times and extensive excavation.
• Helical piers screw in fast with zero concrete waiting, zero spoils, and immediate load capacity.
• Compact installation gear makes helical piers ideal for tight-access sites and weather-sensitive schedules.

We didn’t just compare piers on paper. We pushed them until the differences became impossible to ignore.

During testing, the competitor’s pier started bending at 6,000 ft-lbs of torque and ultimately broke at 8,500 ft-lbs. Our FnD 2-7/8” pier reached 11,000 ft-lbs, while our 4.5” pier was pushed all the way to the test equipment’s 19,000 ft-lb limit.

Why the difference? Wall thickness, sacrificial steel, and how the pier is engineered matter.

Testing to failure gives us more than a number. It shows us how these systems actually behave as loads increase, where deformation begins, and how much capacity is left before failure.

Don’t just ask what a pier is rated for. Ask what happens when it gets pushed.

Two 2⅞” piers. Same outside diameter. Very different results.

In testing, the competitor’s pier failed at 8,500 ft-lbs of torque. Our FnD 2⅞” pier reached 11,000 ft-lbs before failure.

One of the biggest differences? Wall thickness.

More steel means more material to resist twisting under torque and more sacrificial steel over the life of the pier.

Don’t judge a helical pier by diameter alone. What’s inside the measurement matters.

Not all helical piles are built the same.

Two piles can look similar from the outside while being very different where it actually matters. Material, wall thickness, and steel composition all affect how a pile performs and how much material it has available over its service life.

Knowing what’s actually in the pile matters.
