The Hydrogen Super Highway elevated rail system stanchion pole basic soil compaction analysis. The HSH rail infrastructure system is unique in the use of helical foundation tubes that are drilled into the soil or bedrock. When soil is too soft, a large cone-shaped foot is sleeved over the stanchion pole to massively increase the load capacity of the soil and enable the installation of the HSH rail system across vast regions where traditional railroads and surface roads would be impractical.
