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.
The hydraulic heads that we use are high torque and turn at a slow speed.
These drive heads are specifically design for use with engineered screw pilings.
Often contractors will use drive heads meant for augers.
These drive heads spin too fast and disturb the soil, causing instability with potential for frost jacking.
Additionally auger heads only put out low torque.
This means these heads may not be able to achieve any engineered pile load requirements.
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 There are several competitive advantages for using helical piers versus other systems, especially when working with an existing building.
Learn why so many engineers and builders require helical piers, and how they could help in your next project.
Why are my bricks cracking? My chimney leaning? My doors and windows hard to open and close? Foundation problems are due to expansive soils prevalent in the southeast.
More than likely you have seen expansive soils and just did not know it.

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.
For many people foundation repairs are a necessary evil when they are having settling or heaving problems with their home.
Most are not up to speed on the technical aspects of structurally repairing their homes basement or foundation, so they look through the phone book or go online and look for a repair expert in their area.
With little knowledge or research a foundation repair contractor is chosen based on price or convenience.
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.
