Our recent work on a self-storage facility in Highland, IN, is a prime example of how helical piles can streamline construction, even in the most challenging winter conditions.

Project Overview

This project required the installation of over 300 Triple Helix Helical Piles to support five 200-foot-long storage buildings. Despite working in adverse January weather conditions, our team completed foundation installation at an impressive pace—averaging one building per day with three crew members.

Why Helical Piles Were the Best Choice

The building site had very soft soil with an organic content of 15’ and a very high water table. Helical Piles were selected in conjunction with a concrete footing and frost wall. This allowed excavation, pile installation, and concrete to follow each trade around the site, making for easy coordination and scheduling.

  All-Weather Installation – Helical piles can be installed year-round, even in frozen ground.

  Speed & Efficiency – Our specialized equipment allowed us to install hundreds of piles quickly, keeping the project on schedule.

  Minimal Disruption – Minimal excavation and no heavy earthmoving meant a cleaner, more efficient process and worksite.


  Immediate Load Capacity – The helical piles are ready to bear loads as soon as installed, allowing construction to continue without needing inspection. This allows your concrete contractor to form and add rebar immediately.

Overcoming Winter Challenges

January temperatures and frozen soil could have posed serious setbacks for this project. However, despite the conditions, Techno Metal Post Illiana’s helical pile technology made securing deep, stable foundations possible. Our expertise and efficient installation process ensured the self-storage company could move forward without costly delays—a significant advantage in commercial construction.

A Foundation Built for the Future

By choosing helical piles, this self-storage facility has a strong, stable, and built-to-last foundation. Techno Metal Post Illiana is the trusted choice for fast, durable, and environmentally friendly foundation solutions for contractors.
