Manufacturing Process
Expertise and innovation have made Cantsink a trusted provider of helical piles for 30 years.
Cantsink is a premiere helical pile manufacturing company, providing foundation construction support products to engineers and contractors across the globe. Manufactured in the U.S. at our environmentally friendly, net-zero carbon emission plant, we use American-made materials and supplies. Cantsink helical piles are composed of a lead section with a helix and optional extension. The helical anchor is rotated like a screw through surface soils into more stable ground layers below with suitable soil bearing strata. Its corrugated helix provides greater strength compared to a standard flat plate steel helix.
As a helical pile manufacturing company, Cantsink has developed a world class patented design, that incorporates a process that merges the shaft and helix into a seamless pattern. This process produces less waste and produces stronger support. Tested and certified to the highest standards for performance, Cantsink helical piles have a yield strength of 50,000 psi and a minimal tensile strength of 65,000 psi. The solid bar, round corner square shaft has a 1.5” square diameter, and conforms to ASTM A576-90 with yield strength of 85,000 psi and tensile strength of 100,000.
Now providing helix sizes ranging from 8” to 19” in diameter, Cantsink products provide foundation construction support that can be quickly installed and customized through product selection to address specific site conditions.
