PierTechTM Systems Launches the Heli Max® Grouted Pile: A Hybrid Breakthrough in High-Capacity Foundations

by PierTech Systems

October 2025

PierTech Systems has introduced its latest innovation in deep foundation technology — the Heli Max® Grouted Pile, a patented hybrid pile system engineered to deliver exceptional load capacity, precision, and safety while maintaining the speed and efficiency of helical pile installation.

The Heli Max® is a pressure-grouted, full-displacement helical pile that combines the advantages of helical piles, micropiles, drilled displacement piles, and driven piles into a single, versatile foundation system. The innovative design incorporates a displacement cone and dual-grouting module to create a sealed grout column that reinforces the interface between steel, grout, and soil — dramatically enhancing both compressive and tensile performance.

Unlike traditional high-capacity foundations that require large cranes, concrete trucks, or deep drilling rigs, the Heli Max® installs with a conventional excavator and produces no spoils, low vibration, and minimal noise.

The system allows pressure grouting along the pile shaft and lead section simultaneously, or as a controlled post-grouting operation. Its one-way check valve and displacement cone maintain grout pressure during curing, ensuring a consistent, defect-free grout column. The result is a foundation solution that delivers higher lateral capacity, greater buckling resistance, and faster installation than conventional auger cast or drilled displacement systems.

“The Heli Max® Grouted Pile represents a major advancement in hybrid foundation design,” says Michael Wilkis, Director of Engineering at PierTech Systems. “It merges the simplicity of helical installation with the strength and performance expected from large-diameter drilled systems — without the cost or disruption.”
