The International Code Council Evaluation Services (ICC-ES) recently issued ESR-3750 to IDEAL Manufacturing certifying that two of the company’s 2.875” (73 mm) diameter helical piles met or exceeded the testing specifications defined in AC358 - the ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria for Helical Foundation Systems and Devices.  The two certified 2.875” diameter products have a wall thickness of 0.203 inch (5.15 mm) and 0.276 inch (7.01 mm).
