Techno Metal Post is the First Helical Pile Company Ever to Receive an Evaluation Report from IAPMO (ER-481) for the use of Helical Foundations Under the International Residential Code (IRC) in the USA

The goal of this evaluation report is to recognize the Techno Metal Post P1 (1-7/8''), P2 (2-3/8'') and P3 (3-1/2'') foundation models as an alternative to prescriptive foundations and footings for decks and other residential accessory structures, and for new construction and additions for residential occupancy built under the following codes: 2015, 2012, 2006 Residential Code (IRC).

This evaluation report will contribute in helping Building officials, engineers, architects and others, to have a better understanding on how to use helical foundations for residential applications.

Techno Metal Post is confident that our products will continue to flourish and thrive and become more well known and recognized as a great alternative to traditional prescriptive foundations and footings. The features that contractors and customers like about our product is the time they save when using it, because there is no excavation involved. Techno Metal Post’s small installation machine leaves a minimal footprint on the job site. When the helical foundation is installed, it's ready to build on. Techno Metal Post also offers in-house engineering services to simplify everything. Our dealers can provide accurate field reports for all projects, which are signed and sealed by our licensed engineers.
