Weathering the Storm – CHANCE Helical Pulldown® Micropile

Necessity may be the mother of invention, but Mother Nature can call for some quick innovation.

Hurricane Sandy presented an opportunity to rethink a home elevation project in Point Pleasant, New Jersey.

Based on storm surge and the resulting scour, the intention was to install standard helical piles with the CHANCE Helical Pulldown® Micropile into typical soils that would be affected by a storm surge in the Point Pleasant area and then determine their performance by field testing.
