Bob Jones, founder and president of International Marketing & Research, Inc. (IMR), has been associated with helical piers (a.k.a. "helical piles") and the deep foundation industry since 1968. IMR began full-time operations with helical piers in 1986. Through Mr. Jones' pioneering efforts, by the late 1990’s IMR had become the largest helical pier distributor in the United States with several million in annual sales.
Helical pier manufacturing operations began in 2003 with the launching of the HELI-PILE® brand of modular helical piers. Since that date HELI-PILE® brand conventional and tubular helical piers have come on-line. IMR manufactures only helical piers and associated hardware, nothing else. The associated hardware we design and build consists primarily of load transfer devices for our engineering and construction customers. We distribute specialty installation equipment.
IMR employs full-time registered professional engineers long experienced in helical pier technology to provide technical assistance to engineers and other design professionals. Technical assistance is available for cost estimating and bidding purposes. IMR also employs full-time helical pier installation and equipment personnel to assist its customers. Service is available 24/7. In that respect, we never close.
IMR provides helical pier and tension anchor installation contractor certification and biennial re-certification training in Denver. We also provide on-site helical pier and tension anchor installation training.
