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 instal

All of the screw piles we supply and install are CCMC certified to meet or exceed government regulations for structural foundation.
Engineered projects requiring permits are not a problem.
We can meet any architectural engineering requirement as well as provide any required installation torque reports.
Ideal for residential decks, cantilevers, fences sheds and retaining walls there are many home project where screw-in foundations can be used.
Commercial builds often require cement slab support, tower anchors, sign support and support for light stands.
Finally industry applications light foundations for solar farms, wind farms, power transmission towers and modular building.
The economical versatility of helical piling foundations means the applications are endless.

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 Helical piers, also known as helical piles, screw piles and helical anchors, help secure new foundations to the ground.
They can also be used to strengthen and stabilize existing foundations.
The word “helix” means having a spiral shape.
This day and age homeowners have many choices when faced with a structural foundation problem.
The choices include helical piles, push piers, helical tie-back anchors and plate anchors.
Each one of these solutions should only be implemented under the supervision of a qualified engineer and foundation repair contractor.
Home repair is often expensive and inconvenient, and it’s possible that one of the most problematic is home foundation repair.
If you are faced with this problem you mustn’t ignore it.
You must make the repair as soon as possible with the help of a residential structural engineer.
A foundation is the base that supports any structure in order for it to stay solid and firm.
When this base is not installed properly or the soil beneath is not sound, problems occur that can jeopardize your entire base and structure.
The cost of foundation repair can be very expensive if there is major damage.
Foundation repair is the most complicated and the most expensive type of repair your home will ever need.
This is the reason why so many people go to school to get training specifically to become a foundation repair contractor.
