Helical Tiebacks
Helical tieback piers (also referred to as tension anchors) are an excellent way to stop bowing basement walls or to secure retaining walls. Because these walls are built below grade, the soil on the outside of the wall pushes against the wall. When the soil becomes wet, immense hydrostatic pressure builds up and the wall is required to hold back more weight than it is often able to. The result is buckling or bowing of these walls.
Tieback anchors utilize the same basic principles of helical piers by building up torque as resistance. A wall plate is mounted to add strength and stability to the previously-compromised wall.
