With the type of soil conditions found in and around the City of Champions, building a lasting and stable foundation for you project can be a challenge. Choosing helical piles to support the foundation of your project can be the answer. Engineered pilings are constructed with a hollow steel tube affixed with one or several helixes. These helical plates allow for a more effective bearing load capacity when soil can be problematic. During metal post installation, torque is monitored. If the installation torque is unsatisfactory then extensions can be added to go deeper and provide greater support.

We truly believe in providing strong, stable screw pile foundations that will stand the test of time. We are diligent about conforming to architectural standards, building codes. This passion for providing quality craftsmanship, ensures the safety and longevity of all building projects supported by our piling foundations.

The versatility of engineered helical anchors means they can meet the demands of almost any structural foundation application. This also means they can be installed in many different types of soils and weather conditions.  Installation of screw-piles is fast and easy and does not disturb the soil. Therefore, they can be installed nearly everywhere and used in every industry.

Continuing beyond that of residential jobs, the commercial applications of screw piles are many. This is mainly because of the the affordability and versatility of helical pile installation. Yes, screw piles can be used for foundations much like that of residential projects but while meeting the higher requirements of commercial building codes. The fast and easy installation allows commercial renovators and developers to employ screw pilings for more structures like signs, light standards, roof structures, grade beams, retaining walls and sidewalks. Also their cost effective and quick installation is perfect for larger commercial jobs where profitability and scheduling are key.

Trust the best, our install crews at The Edmonton Screw Pile Pros use only the right install equipment and drive heads. This means when our people install your piles, the torque is properly applied and monitored.

Advantages
Fast Installation. With little preparation or cleanup required
Immediate load bearing capacity. Unlike concrete footings, the screw-anchors can be loaded immediately after installation
Minimal ground disturbance. As the posts do not displace the soil during installation. The ground in which they are put into is not disturbed leaving the soil more stable
Load Capacity Verification. During installation the torque is monitored and recorded. This indicates the soil condition in which the pilings are installed and indicated how much weight the screw pile can hold
Increase Load Capacity. In the field if the required installation torque is not met, helical plates or piling extensions can be added. Going deeper with extensions or adding helical plates can increase the torque to meet the engineering specifications
No Frost Heaving. As all metal posts are installed well below the frost line with the load bearing helical plate typically at the deepest point. Screw piles are resistant to frost heaving
No excavating. Because the posts simply twist into the soil there is no requirement to dig or drill any holes. This saves time and money
