What is the maximum load that a pile can support?

The maximum load a Techno Metal Post helical pile can support depends on 2 factors:

1- The pile tubing diameter and strength:

To facilitate the selection process, our geotechnical and structural engineers have created a selection table that helps you choose which type of Techno Metal Post to use depending on the load to be supported.

2- The depth to reach the adequate soil bearing capacity:

At the time of installation, the installer refers to a correlation chart in order to validate the bearing capacity of the pile, based on soil quality.

Example: For a deck construction using a Techno Metal Post P2 pile with a 2.4" diameter, the maximum load-bearing capacity of each pile can be up to 11,000 lbs. This alone can support an elephant weighing more than 8,800 lbs.
