Magnum Piering

What Magnum Piering does

Magnum Piering, Inc. is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of high-capacity engineered steel foundation systems, founded in 1981 and headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes helical piles (square bar through 18" round shaft), steel caps, push piers, foundation brackets, moment frames, micropile brackets, displacement/grout piles, earth anchors, solar piles, and associated installation accessories under an ISO 9001 quality program with structural capacities developed per AISC 360, ICC-ES AC358, IBC, ACI, and ASCE codes. Patented technologies include Dual-Cutting Edge (DCE) helical bearing plates, an alternating helix pattern, and the MAGNUM Moment Frame (U.S. Patent 9249593).

The company sells primarily to construction, energy, and infrastructure end markets — including oil and gas, power transmission and utility (with BESS applications), renewable energy (solar and wind), commercial construction, residential foundation repair, and civil infrastructure (bridges, airports, railroads, marine, towers) — through direct inside sales, a nationwide certified installer network, and an engineering services subsidiary, Magnum Geo-Solutions, LLC. Public case histories span 18+ verticals and reference projects including a NASA launch pad, Windstax wind tower, Ruby Hill Levitt Pavilion, and Wyoming transmission substations.

Revenue is generated predominantly from engineered-to-order hardware sales on a quote-based pricing model, supplemented by engineering support services delivered via Magnum Geo-Solutions (stamped submittals and helical pile optimization), training programs (Field Installation Training, Lunch and Learn, Webinars), and minor catalog sales of technical documents. Magnum has pursued ongoing physical capacity expansion (announcements in November 2023 and January 2026) and product-line diversification into solar, BESS, wind, and moment-frame applications. No revenue, headcount growth rate, funding, or ownership data is publicly disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Manufactured Steel Foundation Product Sales: Primary revenue stream from sale of engineered and manufactured helical piles, steel caps, push piers, brackets, moment frames, micropiles, and other foundation products. Custom sizes/specifications available on request. Products include turn-key engineered solutions priced per project.
2. Technical Resources / Document Sales: Sale of individual technical publications such as the Magnum Helical Shaft Buckling Chart ($1.00) and downloadable cut sheets, sizing guides, and technical bulletins. Minimal but represents catalog monetization.
3. Engineering Support Services (Magnum Geo-Solutions): Professional engineering support services delivered via Magnum Geo-Solutions (magnumgeo.com), including stamped submittals and helical pile optimization. Provides custom engineering for projects.
4. Training Programs: Field Installation Training, Lunch and Learn sessions, and Webinars offered to installers, engineers, and designers to support product deployment.

Core offering

Magnum Piering engineers, designs, and manufactures high-capacity steel helical pile foundation systems and related foundation products (steel caps, push piers, brackets, moment frames, micropiles, anchors, and post bases) in the USA under an ISO 9001 quality program. The company distributes these engineered foundation products through direct sales to engineering firms and construction companies and through a nationwide network of trained installers serving commercial, civil infrastructure, energy, and residential foundation repair markets.

Product overview

Magnum Piering is a single integrated product line — a portfolio of high-capacity steel foundation products engineered, designed, and manufactured in the USA since 1981, sold through a nationwide network of installers. The company's offering is platform-plus-modules in spirit but ships as distinct physical product families that interoperate: Helical Piles are the core foundation element, paired with Steel Caps (Anchors & Tie-Backs, Bearing Plates, Concrete Caps, Pipe Support, Direct Connect, Wood Beam) for top connections; Foundation Brackets, Push Piers, and Push Pier Ram Kits underpin the foundation-repair offering; the Slabjack System and Grout Piles (Displacement/MAGNATUDE) provide specialty installation methods; Moment Frames, Earth Anchors, Helical Post Bases, Micropile Brackets, and Threadbar Accessories round out the connection/accessory set; Drill Hole Templates and Drive Tools/Torque Motor Adapters support installation; Power Transmission Foundations and Solar Piles serve dedicated vertical markets; and the Magnum Geo-Calc App supports engineering sizing of all of the above.

Direct peers

• MacLean Dixie (Helical / Foundation Products): MacLean Dixie manufactures helical and pipe pile foundation products for utility, transmission, and infrastructure customers. It directly overlaps with Magnum's power transmission, substation, and BESS foundation product lines.
• Foundation Supportworks: Foundation Supportworks is a manufacturer and distributor of helical pile and foundation repair products operating a national dealer/installer network, directly mirroring Magnum's helical pile + certified installer model. Its product breadth and dealer footprint make it one of the closest comparables to Magnum.
• PierTech Systems: PierTech manufactures helical pile and round shaft foundation systems for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. It overlaps directly with Magnum's round shaft and square bar helical pile families in both new construction and repair.
• Earth Contact Products (ECP): ECP manufactures steel foundation repair products including helical piers, push piers, and plate brackets, sold through a dealer/installer network. It directly competes with Magnum's foundation repair and underpinning offering for residential and light commercial customers.
• Ram Jack Systems: Ram Jack manufactures and distributes steel push pier, helical pier, and foundation repair products through a national installer network. It is a direct competitor in residential and commercial foundation underpinning, overlapping heavily with Magnum's underpinning and push pier product lines.

Regional players

• GoliathTech: GoliathTech is a Canadian-based helical pile manufacturer and installer network with growing US presence. It competes in the same residential and light commercial helical pile category as Magnum, primarily in North American geographies.
• Techno Metal Post: Techno Metal Post designs and installs helical pile foundations through a franchised network primarily in Canada, the US, and Europe. Its helical pile product and franchise installer model are conceptually analogous to Magnum's manufacturer-plus-certified-installer approach.

Emerging players

• IDEAL Group (Helical Foundations): IDEAL Group designs and supplies helical pile and screw pile foundation systems for residential and commercial applications. It is a smaller, more focused player with partial overlap to Magnum's residential and commercial helical pile offering.

Others

• Skystone Steel (Structural Steel Fabricator): Skystone Steel is a US structural and miscellaneous steel fabricator serving commercial and industrial construction. While not a helical pile specialist, its fabrication capability in structural steel frames and components makes it an adjacent comparable for Magnum's Moment Frame and steel cap fabrication.

Broad incumbents

• Hubbell Power Systems (AB Chance): Hubbell's AB Chance division is one of the original helical pile and foundation product lines in the US, serving electric utility, transmission, and foundation markets. It is broadly comparable to Magnum as a helical pile manufacturer and is significantly larger and more diversified, making Magnum a specialized challenger in overlapping product categories.
