No. As discussed in the previous question, the bedrock is far to deep beneath the soft sand. The pilings began as one inch thick hollow tubes. They were pounded 40 feet into the sand until they met resistance. They were then filled with cement all the way up. This created a solid platform for the pier to rest on. The pier has been so sturdy that since it was established in 1977 has not moved more than a centimeter.

Baylor gauges that measure wave height. They work by running a small voltage down the cables. Where the water shorts the wires, the computer measures this distance as wave height 4 times per second. There are several baylor gauges along the pier, which allows for the tracking of a wave as it approaches the beach.

This process is reviewed annually by the Town Board as required by ordinance.

The weight of the structure is transferred through the pier to a stable soil mass or bedrock. A pile is a deep foundation system, consisting of relatively long, slender, column members driven into the ground (Steel, timber, reinforced concrete) that may terminate with a cap on top, referred to as a pile-cap.

Helical Piers are true end-bearing piers. The weight of the structure is transferred to the helical plates. Helical Piers are installed independent of the structure and do not rely on the weight of the structure for installation. This prevents shaking or moving of the structure. Helical Piers are installed to a known capacity and a known competency of soil.
