Auger cast in situ piles

[joeskin]

I have a project that requires piles to be installed inside a warehouse. Timber can work, but there is a height restriction. Can Auger cast be used? Can they be 12" diameter? Thanks.

What is the design load? Can you use helical screw piles?

joeskin:

Auger-cast piles can be installed in low overhead conditions. I would suggest that you talk directly to auger-cast pile installers such as Berkel & Company for size and height restrictions. Another option that can be installed in low overhead applications are mini-piles. There are several geotechnical specialty contractors that can give you ideas such as Nicholson Construction or Hayward Baker. They can both be found on the internet.
