Spiral piles have been in use for a long time; their history dates back to the 1730s when they were initially employed as a field anchor system in a lighthouse located in a tidal area in England. Since the 1840s, spiral piles have thrived, primarily serving as anti-pulling piles. After the 1880s, spiral piles became widely adopted as a superior alternative pile type in countries like the United States, Australia, and Europe, meeting various engineering demands, including resistance to compressive, tensile, and horizontal forces.

Helical piles are metal or non-metallic tubular or columnar piles equipped with helical blades. They are driven into the ground using specialized equipment, replacing concrete independent foundations and strip foundations. The pile top connects to the load. Their advantages include quick and convenient construction, significantly reducing the construction period, environmental friendliness, eco-friendliness, non-destruction of vegetation, and suitability for various weather conditions, including Northern winters. They are also easy to relocate and recycle.

Helical piles have been widely used in power tower structures, signboards, house foundations, streetlight bases, and are increasingly applied in billboards, temporary venues, warehouses, schools, and other independent constructions, as well as in municipal and traffic equipment categories.
