TEST RESULTS:
ASTM 1143 Quick Load Test performed. Test was taken to 200 kips with net movement of .678 in. 180 kips was determined to be the ultimate load.

ADVANTAGES:
To achieved high-capacity load requirement. To be installed in low head room conditions. Mobility within existing building structure.

Helical Pulldown^® Micropile
The Helical Pulldown® Micropile (HPM) is a method used to form a grout column around the shaft of a standard helical anchor/pile. The installation process can employ grout only (see Uncased Helical Pulldown® Micropile) or grout in combination with either steel or PVC casing (see Cased Helical Pulldown® Micropile).

When using conventional deep foundations systems pose a problem, Micropiles would be an alternative application. If your site has obstructions, closed in structures, underground issues or limited access the preferred foundation choice in these challenging areas would be Helical Pulldown® Micropiles.

Design System Applications:
• Provide support for projects during    renovations
• Replacement of an existing foundation
• Environmentaly applicable where access is    limited
• Effective alternative to traditional    underpinning   methods.
