INTRODUCTION
TeleCAD Wireless Site Design, Inc. (TeleCAD) has prepared this report describing the methodology and
codes used to review the integrity of a proposed foundation for a metal light pole to be used for
telecommunications. The pole is designed by Valmont, pole number WA505061P1 to be located in Renton,
Washington.
The proposed installation consists of a 44’-10” metal utility pole with lights that has a 10.83 inch base
diameter. The pole is round and tapered and has a 0.20920-inch wall thickness. TeleCAD is proposing a
foundation of this structure using Helicore helical anchors. The proposed foundation consists of a steel
base plate which is secured to the ground with three helical anchors. The helical anchors are made from
pipes that have an outer diameter of 2.875 inches and a wall thickness of 0.203 inches. There are three
helixes attached to each anchor that are 8, 10, and 12 inches in diameter.

The legitimacy of this analysis is dependent on the accuracy of the information provided to TeleCAD
Wireless Site Design, Inc. If any information within the referenced documents is to be revised, TeleCAD
Wireless Site Design, Inc. should be contacted immediately to ensure accurate results. This analysis does
not take into consideration the structural capacity of mounting equipment or other components to be added
to the pole, nor is it a condition assessment of the pole. It is assumed that the structure is in like-new
condition, twist-free, and plumb.
This analysis assumes the following:
1. The structure was constructed pursuant to applicable local codes and has been properly
maintained according to codes.
2. All members of the Helicore foundation system have been installed according to manufacturer
specification, local code, and ICC-ES Evaluation Report ESR-3750, dated June 2019.
3. Special Inspections may be required per local codes and are the sole responsibility of the
contractor.
4. For the purposes of this report, the helical anchors installed are the only load bearing components
of this system. While the connection plate, in reality, will bear portions of the load, it is only
considered as a connector of the three anchors.
5. All mounting hardware is assumed to be sufficient and able to carry the proposed loading. Non
analysis was performed on the mounting hardware.
6. The geotechnical properties are considered unknown as a part of this analysis. This analysis was
completed using researched soil characteristics. A more thorough and accurate assessment of
the below grade components will require a site-specific geotechnical report. Please contact
TeleCAD Wireless Site Design, Inc. for additional reporting if deemed necessary.
7. If the on-site assessment of the soil properties reveals conditions less stable than recorded in this
report, contact TeleCAD Wireless Site Design, Inc. for a revised analysis.
8. The proposed and existing loading are considered complete. All appurtenances are assumed to
be properly installed as per manufacturers specifications.
It is not possible to have the fully detailed information necessary to perform a complete and thorough
analysis of every structural sub-component of an existing structure. Line tensions, twist, and plumb are
assumed to be within tolerance with applicable codes and industry standards. If the existing conditions
are not as represented in this report, contact TeleCAD Wireless Site Design, Inc. immediately to determine
the significance of the discrepancy.
TeleCAD Wireless Site Design, Inc. is not responsible for assumptions, conclusions or recommendation
by others based on the information provided in this report. TeleCAD Wireless Site Design, Inc. also offers
no warranties or guarantees, either expressed or implied, come in conjunction with this report. TeleCAD
Wireless Site Design, Inc. disclaims any liability that comes with the manufacturing of parts, transport, and
or erection of this structure. TeleCAD Wireless Site Design, Inc. will not be considered responsible for
any incidental damages sustained, whether by person, firm, owner, or organization as a result of data

Structural and geotechnical
2.0 USES
The Ideal Foundation Systems are used either to
underpin foundations of existing structures or to form
deep foundations for new structures and are designed to
transfer compression, tension, and lateral loads from
the supported structure to suitable soil bearing strata.
Underpinning of existing foundations is generally
achieved by attaching the helical piles to the repair
brackets (Type A side-load brackets), which support
compression loads. Deep foundations for new
construction are generally obtained by attaching the
helical piles to new construction brackets (Type B direct-
load brackets) that are embedded in concrete pile caps,
footings, or grade beams, which support compression,
tension and lateral loads.
3.0 DESCRIPTION
3.1 GENERAL:
The Ideal Foundation Systems consist of a helical pile
and a bracket that allows for attachment to support
structures. Each helical pile, consisting of a lead shaft
section and one or more extension shaft sections, as
needed to reach depth, is screwed into the ground to a
desired depth and suitable soil bearing strata by
applying torsion and crowd. The bracket is then installed
to connect the helical pile to the concrete foundation of
the supported structure.
3.2 System Components:
The Ideal Foundation Systems include either a 11/2-inch
(38 mm) solid round-cornered square (RCS) steel bar,
27/8-inch-outside-diameter (73 mm) round steel tubing, or
31/2-inch-outside-diameter (89 mm) round steel tubing
lead shaft, extension shaft(s), and either a repair
bracket or a new construction bracket for attachment to
concrete foundations. A lead shaft section is connected
to extension shaft(s) by couplings, as described in
Section 3.2.3. The helical pile is connected to a
foundation bracket, as described in Section 3.2.4.
3.2.1 Helical Pile Lead Shafts, Extensions, and
Flighted Extensions: The Ideal Foundation Systems
helical pile lead shaft and extension shaft sections are
available in three different shaft sizes: 27/8-inch-outside-
diameter (73 mm) round steel tubing, 31/2-inch-outside-
diameter (89 mm) round steel tubing, and 11/2-inch
(38 mm) solid round-cornered square (RCS) steel bar.
The helical pile lead shafts consist of one or more
helical-shaped circular steel plates factory-welded to the
steel shaft. The steel extensions may or may not
include helical bearing plates, depending on the project
specifications. The extension shaft sections are similar
to the lead shaft sections, except that the extensions do
not typically have helical plates. See Figures 3A, 3B, and
3C of this report. Whereas, flighted extension shaft
sections are extension shaft sections with helical plates
factory-welded to the steel shaft, similar to lead shaft
sections. See Figures 5A, 5B, and 5C. The depth of the
helical piles in soil is typically extended by adding one or
more steel shaft extensions that are mechanically
connected together by couplers to form one continuous
steel pile.
The 27/8-inch-outside-diameter (73 mm) round steel
tubing lead shaft sections and extension shaft sections
are available in two wall thicknesses: a nominal wall
thickness of 0.203 inch (5.15 mm) or 0.276 inch
(7.01 mm). The 31/2-inch-outside-diameter (89 mm)
round steel tubing lead shaft sections and extension
shaft sections are available in two wall thicknesses: a
nominal wall thickness of 0.216 inch (5.48 mm) or
0.300 inch (7.62 mm). The 11/2-inch (38.1 mm) round-
cornered square (RCS) lead shaft sections and
extension shaft sections are solid steel bars.
The helical lead shaft and extension shaft sections
come in a range between 2.5-foot-long (0.76 m) to
20-foot-long (6.10 m). See Figures 3A, 3B, 3C, 4A, 4B,
4C, 5A, 5B, and 5C.
3.2.2 Helix Plates: The helical plates, which are
factory-welded to the lead shafts and flighted extension
shafts, allow advancement into the soil as the pile is
rotated. Each circular, helical, steel bearing plate
ESR-3750 | Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page 2 of 20
(helix) is split from the center to the outside edge with
spiral edge geometry. Each helix is press-formed to a
clockwise downward spiral with all radial sections normal
to the shaft’s central longitudinal axis ± 3o and with a
3-inch nominal pitch. The pitch is the distance between
the leading and trailing edges.
For 27/8-inch-outside-diameter (73 mm) and 31/2-inch-
outside-diameter (89 mm) round steel tubing shafts, the
helix plates are 1/2-inch thick (12.7 mm) and have an
outer diameter of 8, 10, 12 or 14 inches (203, 254, 305
or 356 mm). For 11/2-inch (38 mm) RCS shafts, the helix
plates are 3/8-inch-thick (9.52 mm) steel plates and have
an outer diameter of 8, 10, 12 or 14 inches (203, 254,
305 or 356 mm).
The lead helix is located near the tip (bottom end) of
the lead shaft section. For multiple helix installation, the
helical bearing plates are spaced three times the
diameter of the preceding helix plate apart, starting at
the tip (bottom) of the lead shaft section. Typically, the
smallest diameter helical bearing plate is placed near the
tip (bottom) of the lead shaft section and the largest
diameter helical bearing plate is placed near the top
(trailing end) of the lead shaft section. When flighted
extensions are utilized, the helix spacing between the
last (or upper most) helix on the lead shaft and the first
(or lower most) helix on the succeeding flighted
extension shall be at least three times the helix diameter
of the last (or upper most) helix on the lead shaft. For
flighted extension shaft sections with multiple helix
installation, the helical bearing plates are spaced apart
three times the diameter of the lower preceding helix
plate, starting from the bottom of the flighted extension
shaft. See Figures 4A, 4B, 4C, 5A, 5B and 5C, and
Tables 4A, 4B and 4C.
3.2.3 Extension Shaft Couplers: The helical pile lead
shaft sections and extension shaft sections are
connected together by couplers, so as to allow the
multiple shaft sections to be connected during
installation. Connection of the extension shaft section to
the lead shaft or other extension shaft section is made
by through-bolted connection, through the extension
shaft coupler segment and the connected lead shaft or
other extension shaft.
At one end of each 27/8-inch-outside-diameter (73 mm)
and 31/2-inch-outside-diameter (89 mm) extension shaft
sections is a steel coupler that consists of a pipe sleeve,
factory-welded to the end of the extension shaft, which
allows the upper end to the lead shaft or the other end
of extension shaft section to be snug-fitted into the
welded coupler. The 27/8-inch-outside-diameter (73 mm)
extension shaft coupler sleeve is a 3½-inch-outside-
diameter (89 mm) round steel tubing, having a
0.254-inch (6.45 mm) nominal wall thickness. The
31/2-inch-outside-diameter (89 mm) extension shaft
coupler sleeve is a 41/8-inch-outside-diameter (105 mm)
round steel tubing, having a 0.255-inch (6.48 mm)
nominal wall thickness. 13/16-inch holes are factory drilled
at each end of the extension shaft section and at the
upper end of the lead shaft section, so as to allow
multiple shaft sections to be through-bolted together
during the installation. For 27/8-inch-outside-diameter
(73 mm) and 31/2-inch-outside-diameter (89 mm) helical
plies, each coupling connection includes two ¾-inch-
diameter (19 mm) standard hex-head structural bolts
and two matching hex nuts complying with Section 3.3.6.
See Figures 3A, 3B, 5A, and 5B.
At one end of each 11/2-inch (38 mm) RCS extension
shaft section, an upset socket is forged from the RCS
steel bar, which allows the upper end of the lead shaft or
the other end (the end without the upset socket) of an
extension shaft section to be snug-fitted into the upset
socket. 13/16-inch holes are factory drilled at each end of
the extension shaft section and at the upper end of the
lead shaft section, so as to allow multiple shaft sections
to be through-bolted together during the installation.
The coupling connection includes one ¾-inch-diameter
(19 mm) standard hex-head structural bolt and one
matching hex nut. See Figures 3C and 5C.
3.2.4 Foundation Attachments (Brackets): The Ideal
278CF and 312CF are Type A side-load brackets (repair
brackets) used for transferring axial compressive loads
from the existing foundations to the helical piles. The
Ideal 278NC80G, 312NC80G, and SQ150NC60G are
Type B direct-load brackets (new construction brackets)
which are used in new construction to transfer axial
compression, axial tension, or lateral loads from the
foundations to the helical piles. The different brackets
are described in Sections 3.2.4.1 and 3.2.4.2.
3.2.4.1 Repair Brackets (278CF and 312CF): Repair

4.0 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
4.1 Design:
4.1.1 General: Engineering calculations and drawings,
prepared by a registered design professional, must be
submitted to the code official for each project, must be
based on accepted engineering principles as described
in IBC Section 1604.4, and must conform to 2015, 2012
and 2009 IBC Section 1810 (2006 IBC Section 1808).
The load capacities shown in this report are based
on allowable stress design (ASD) described in IBC
Section 1602 and AISC 360 Section B3.4. The
engineering analysis must address helical foundation
system performance related to structural and
geotechnical requirements.
The calculations must address the ability (considering
strength and stiffness) of the supported foundation and
structure to transmit the applied loads to the helical
foundation system and the ability of the helical piles and
surrounding soils to support the loads applied by the
supported foundation and structure. The structural
analysis must consider all applicable internal forces
(axial, shear, bending moments, and torsional moments,
if applicable) due to applied loads, load transfer between
the bracket and the pile segments (leads and
extensions), and maximum span(s) between helical
foundations. The result of the analysis and the structural
capacities must be used to select a helical foundation
system. The minimum embedment depth for various
loading conditions must be included, based on the most
stringent requirements of the following: engineering
ESR-3750 | Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page 4 of 20
analysis; tested conditions described in this report; a
site-specific geotechnical investigation report; and site-
specific load tests, if applicable.
The geotechnical analysis must address the suitability
of the helical foundation system for the specific project. It
must also address the center-to-center spacing of the
helical pile, considering both effects on the supported
foundation and structure, and group effects on the pile-
soil capacity. The analysis must include estimates of the
axial tension and/or compression capacities of the
helical piles, whatever is relevant for the project, and the
expected total and differential foundation movements
due to a single pile or pile group, as applicable.
A soil investigation report (geotechnical report) must
be submitted to the code official as part of the required
submittal documents, prescribed in 2015, 2012, and
2009 IBC Section 107 (2006 IBC Section 106), at the
time of permit application. The geotechnical report must
include, but is not limited to, all the following:
1. A plot showing the location of the soil investigation.
2. A complete record of the soil boring and penetration
test logs and soil samples.
3. A record of soil profile.
4. Information on groundwater table, frost depth, and
corrosion-related parameters, as described in
Section 5.5 of this report.
5. Soil design parameters, such as: shear strength,
soil allowable bearing pressure, unit weight of
soil, soil deformation characteristics, and other
parameters affecting pile support conditions as
defined in 2015, 2012 and 2009 IBC Section
1810.2.1 (2006 IBC Section 1808.2.9).
6. Confirmation of the suitability of helical foundation
systems for the specific project.
7. Recommendations for design criteria, including, but
not be limited to: mitigation of effects of differential
settlement, varying soil strength, and effects of
adjacent loads.
8. Recommended center-to-center spacing of helical
pile foundations, if different from spacing noted in
Section 5.14 of this report; and reduction of
allowable loads due to the group action, if
necessary.
9. Field inspection and reporting procedures to include
procedures for verification of the installed bearing
capacity, when required.
10. Load test requirements.
11. Any questionable soil characteristics and special
design provisions, as necessary.
12. Expected total and differential settlement.
13. The axial compression, axial tension, and lateral
load soil capacities, if values cannot be determined
from this evaluation report.
The allowable axial compressive or tensile load of the
helical pile system must be based on the least of the
following in accordance with 2015, 2012 and 2009 IBC
Section 1810.3.3.1.9:
P1: Allowable axial capacity of the bracket. Section
4.1.2 of this report includes bracket capacities.
P2: Allowable axial capacity of pile shaft. Section
4.1.3 of this report includes pile shaft capacities.
P3: Sum of the allowable axial capacity of helical
bearing plates affixed to pile. Section 4.1.4 of this
report includes helical plate axial capacities.
P4: Allowable capacity determined from well-
documented correlations with installation torque.
Section 4.1.5 of this report includes torque correlation
factors used to establish pile axial load capacities
based on documented correlations.
P4: Sum of the areas of the helical bearing plates
times the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil or rock
comprising the bearing stratum divided by a safety
factor of 2. This capacity will be determined by a
registered design professional based on site-specific
soil conditions.
P4: Allowable capacity predicted by dividing the
ultimate capacity determined from load tests by a
safety factor of at least 2.0. This capacity will be
determined by a registered design professional for
each site-specific condition.
4.1.2 Bracket Capacity (P1): Tables 1A, 1B, and 1C
describe the allowable bracket capacity for new
construction brackets (278NC80G, 312NC80G, and
SQ150NC60G) and repair brackets (278CF, 312CF).
The connections of the building structure to the helical
pile brackets must be designed and included in the
construction documents. The concrete foundation must
be designed and justified to the satisfaction of the code
official with due consideration to the eccentricity of
applied loads, including reactions provided by the
brackets, acting on the concrete foundation. Only
localized limit states of steel and supporting concrete
foundation, including punching shear and bearing, have
been considered in this evaluation report. Other limit
states are outside the scope of this evaluation report and
must be determined by the registered design
professional. The effects of reduced lateral sliding
resistance due to uplift from wind or seismic loads must
be considered for each project.
4.1.3 Pile Shaft Capacity (P2): Tables 3A, 3B, and 3C
describe the shaft allowable capacity. Tables 2A, 2B,
and 2C describe the mechanical properties of the shafts,
which are based on a 50-year corrosion effect in
accordance with Section 3.9 of AC358. The top of the
shafts must be braced as described in 2015, 2012 and
2009 IBC Section 1810.2.2, and 2006 IBC Section
1808.2.5. In accordance with 2015, 2012 and 2009 IBC
Section 1810.2.1, and 2006 IBC Section 1808.2.9, any
soil other than fluid soil must be deemed to afford
sufficient lateral support to prevent buckling of the
systems that are braced, and the unbraced length is
defined as the length of piles standing in air, water, or in
fluid soils plus an additional 5 feet (1524 mm) when
embedment is into firm soil, or an additional 10 feet
(3048 mm) when embedment is into soft soil. Firm soils
must be defined as any soil with a Standard Penetration
Test (SPT) blow count of five or greater. Soft soils must
be defined as any soil with a SPT blow count greater
than zero and less than five. Fluid soils must be defined
as any soil with a SPT blow count of zero [weight of
hammer (WHO) or weight of rods (WOR)]. Standard
Penetration Test blow count must be determined in
accordance with ASTM D1586. The shaft capacity of the
helical foundation systems in air, water or fluid soils
must be determined by a registered design professional
using parameters in Tables 2A, 2B, and 2C with due
consideration of lateral support provided by the
surrounding soil and/or structure.
ESR-3750 | Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page 5 of 20
The elastic shortening/lengthening of the pile shaft
will be controlled by the strength and section properties
of the shaft sections and coupler(s). For loads up to and
include the allowable load limits found in this report, the
elastic shortening/lengthening of a shaft can be
estimated as:
∆shaft = P L/(A E)
where:
∆shaft = Length change of shaft resulting from elastic
shortening/lengthening, in (mm).
P = applied axial load, kip (kN).
L = effective length of the shaft, in. (mm).
A = cross-sectional area of the shaft, see Tables
2A, 2B, and 2C, in.2 (mm2).
E = Young's modulus of the shaft, see Table 2A,
2B, and 2C, ksi (MPa).
The slip of the helical pile coupler is
0.161-inch/coupler (4.1 mm/coupler) for 27/8-inch
diameter shafts, 0.286-inch/coupler (7.3 mm/coupler) for
31/2-inch-diameter shafts, and 0.161-inch/coupler
(4.1 mm/coupler) for 11/2-inch RCS shafts at rated
allowable compression/tensile load per coupling.
4.1.4 Helix Plate Capacity (P3): Tables 4A, 4B, and
4C describe the allowable helical bearing plate
capacity. For helical piles with more than one helix, the
allowable helix capacity for the helical foundation
systems supporting axial compression and tension loads
may be taken as the sum of the least allowable capacity
of each individual helix. The helix plates are spaced
three times the diameter of the lowest plate apart
starting at the toe of the lead shaft section and extending
into the flighted extensions, if specified.
4.1.5 Soil Capacity (P4): Tables 5A, 5B, and 5C
describe the geotechnical related properties of the piles.
The allowable axial compressive or tensile soils capacity
of helical piles (P4) must be determined by a registered
design professional in accordance with a site-specific
geotechnical report, as described in Section 4.1.1,
combined with the individual helix bearing method
(Method 1), or from field loading tests conducted under
the supervision of a registered design professional
(Method 2). For either Method 1 or Method 2, the
predicted axial load capacities must be confirmed during
the site-specific production installation, such that the
axial load capacities predicted by the torque correlation
method are equal to or greater than what is predicted by
Method 1 or 2, described above.
The individual bearing method is determined as the
sum of the individual areas of the helical bearing plates
times the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil or rock
comprising the bearing stratum.
The design allowable axial load must be determined by
dividing the total ultimate axial load capacity predicted by
either Method 1 or 2, above, divided by a safety factor of
at least 2.
The torque correlation method must be used to predict
the ultimate capacity (Qult) of the pile and the minimum
installation torque (Equation 1). A factor of safety of 2
must be applied to the ultimate capacity to determine the
allowable soil capacity (Qall) of the pile (Equation 2).
Qult = KtT (Equation 1)
Qall = 0.5 Qult (Equation 2)
where:
Qult = Ultimate axial compressive or tensile capacity
(lbf or N) of helical pile, which must be limited to the
maximum ultimate values noted in Tables 5A, 5B, and
5C.
Qall = Allowable axial compressive or tensile capacity
(lbf or N) of helical pile, which must be limited to the
maximum ultimate values noted in Tables 5A, 5B, and
5C.
Kt = Torque correlation factors are described in Tables
5A, 5B, and 5C.
T = Final installation torque in (ft-lbf or N-m). The final
installation torque is defined as the last torque reading
taken during the pile installation, using, for example,
the torque reading instruments connected to the
installation equipment.
The allowable lateral soil capacity is 1,100 lbf
(4.89 kN) for 27/8-inch diameter helical piles, 1,650 lbf
(7.34 kN) for 31/2-inch diameter helical piles, and 475 lbf
(2.11 kN) for 11/2-inch RCS helical piles. It is based on
field testing of the helical piles with a single 8-inch-
diameter (203 mm) helix plate installed in a firm clay soil,
having an average standard penetration test blow count
of 20, at a minimum embedment of 15 feet (4.57 m). For
soil conditions other than firm clay, the lateral capacity of
the pile must be determined by a registered design
professional.
4.2 Installation:
The Ideal Foundation Systems must be installed
by certified and trained installers approved by Ideal
Manufacturing Inc. The Ideal Foundation Systems must
be installed in accordance with this section (Section 4.2);
2015, 2012 and 2009 IBC Section 1810.4.11; the
manufacturer’s published installation instructions; and
approved site-specific construction documents. In case
of a conflict, the most stringent requirement governs.
4.2.1 Helical Pile Installation: The helical piles must
be installed and located in accordance with the approved
plans and specifications. The helical piles are typically
installed using hydraulic rotary motors having forward
and reverse capabilities, as recommended by Ideal
Manufacturing, Inc. In conjunction with rotating the pile,
an axial force (crowd sufficient to cause the pile to
penetrate the earth at a rate of approximately 3 inches
[76.2 mm] per revolution) is also applied. The installation
speeds must be limited to less than 25 revolutions per
minutes (rpm). The installation torque must not exceed
the Maximum Installation Torque Rating, as described in
Tables 5A, 5B, and 5C. Helical piles must be installed
vertically into the ground with a maximum allowable
angle of inclination of ±1 degree from vertical. The
helical piles must be rotated clockwise in a continuous
manner with the lead shaft section advancing at the helix
pitch. Extensions and flighted extensions (number and
length) are selected based on the approved plans as
specified per the site conditions by a registered design
professional. The extensions, flighted extensions, and
the lead shaft section must be connected by the use of
the designed number of coupling bolts and nuts as
described in Section 3.2.3. Coupling bolts must be snug-
tightened as defined in Section J3 of AISC 360. The final
installation torque must equal or exceed that specified by
the torque correlation method. The helical piles must be
installed to the minimum depth described in the
approved plans, but with the helical plate not less than
5 feet (1.53 m) below the bottom of the supported
concrete foundation. For tension application, when
designing to the full geotechnical capacity, the helical
ESR-3750 | Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page 6 of 20
pile must be installed such that the minimum depth from
the ground surface to the uppermost helix is 12D, where
D is the diameter of the largest helix.
4.2.2 Foundation Attachments:
4.2.2.1 Repair Bracket: The repair bracket must be
installed as specified in the approved plans. The repair
bracket is installed by excavating the bottom of the
footing or foundation and large enough to provide
access for bracket installation. The excavation is
extended under the footing for 14 inches (356 mm) from
chiseled footing face, 12 inches (305 mm) below the
footing, and 14 inches (356 mm) parallel with the footing.
The face and underside of the footing for the bracket
bearing plate is cleaned and chipped if highly irregular,
and should be relatively flat. Existing concrete footing
capacity must not be altered, such as with notching of
concrete or cutting of reinforcing steel, without the
approval of the registered design professional and the
code official. The repair bracket is installed over the pile
shaft, away from the concrete footing. The bracket is
rotated into place under the footing and raised into
position. The footing face and underside should be fully
bearing on the bracket plate. Place non-shrink grout in
any small voids between footing, bracket seat and
concrete footing. The pile shaft is cut off squarely at
least 14 inches (356 mm) up from bottom of footing. This
may change depending on the amount of lift. All field-cut
or drilled pilings may be protected from corrosion as
recommended by the registered design professional and
approved by the code official. The T-bracket is installed
over the pile shaft, and threaded rods, nuts and washers
are added to hold the bracket in position. Coupling nuts,
jacking bracket, and lifting jack are installed to raise the
foundation to the desired elevation. Any lifting of the
existing structure must be verified by a registered design
professional and is subject to approval of the code
official to ensure that the foundation, superstructure, and
helical piles are not overstressed. The bracket can be
lifted only after the non-shrink grout placed during
bracket installation has cured. Once the foundation has
been raised to its desired elevation and the hex nuts
over the T-bracket are tightened, then the jacking
brackets and lifting jacks are removed. The threaded-rod
nuts must be snug-tightened as defined in Section J3 of
AISC 360. The excavation must be backfilled in
accordance with 2015, 2012 and 2009 IBC Section 1804
(2006 IBC Section 1803).
4.2.2.2 New Construction Bracket: New construction
brackets must be placed over the top of the helical pile
shaft. The top of pile elevation must be established and
must be consistent with the specified elevation. If
necessary, the top of the pile may be cut off level to the
required length in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and AISC 360 requirements so as to ensure
full, direct contact (bearing) between the top of the pile
shaft and the bracket. All field-cut or drilled pilings may
be protected from corrosion as recommended by the
registered design professional and approved by the code
official. For new construction brackets 278NC80G and
312NC80G installed for tension application, two ¾-inch-
diameter (19 mm) bolts and matching nuts as described
in Section 3.3.6 of this report must be installed for helical
piles in tension. In the case of new construction bracket
SQ150NCG60 installed for tension application, one
¾-inch-diameter (19 mm) bolt and matching nut as
described in Section 3.3.6 of this report must be installed
for helical piles in tension. The bolts must be snug-
tightened as defined in Section J3 of AISC 360. The
embedment and edge distance of the bracket into the
concrete foundation must be as described in the
approved plans and as indicated in Tables 1A, 1B, and
1C of this report. The concrete foundation must be cast
around the bracket in accordance with the approved
construction documents.
4.3 Special Inspection:
Continuous special inspection in accordance with 2015
and 2012 IBC Section 1705.9 (2009 IBC Section
1704.10 and 2006 IBC Section 1704.9) must be
provided for the installation of the helical piles and
foundation brackets. Where on-site welding is required,
special inspection in accordance with 2015 and 2012
IBC Section 1705.2 (2009 and 2006 IBC Section 1704.3)
is also required. Items to be recorded and confirmed by
the special inspector must include, but are not
necessarily limited to, the following:
1. Verification of product manufacturer and the
manufacturer’s certification of the installers.
2. Verification of product types and configurations for
helical pile lead shaft sections, extensions,
brackets, bolts, threaded rods, nuts, washers, and
torque as specified in this report and the
construction documents.
3. Installation procedures for helical pile shaft,
installation equipment used, and the Ideal
Foundation Systems installation instructions.
4. Anticipated and actual piling depth.
5. Required target installation torque of piles and
depth of the helical foundation system.

analysis prepared by a registered design
professional must be submitted where the center-
to-center spacing of axially loaded helical piles is
less than three times the diameter of the largest
helix plate at the depth of bearing. An analysis
prepared by a registered design professional must
also be submitted where the center-to-center
spacing of laterally loaded helical piles is less than
eight times the least horizontal dimension of the pile
shaft at the ground surface. For laterally loaded
piles, spacing between helical plates must not be
less than 3D, where D is the diameter of the largest
helical plate measured from the edge of the helical
plate to the edge of the helical plate of the adjacent
helical pile; or 4D, where the spacing is measured
from the center-to-center of the adjacent helical pile
plates.
