Top Helical Piers Edmonton

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.

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.

Helical piers ensure long lasting stable foundations for all home construction applications.

The solid integrity of any deck, shed, cement pad or grade beam foundation could be made so with our engineered piling system.

Installing metal screw piles in the place of traditional concrete footings has great benefits.

It is a fast, economical, efficient and most importantly durable base for any residential project to be built upon.

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 mone
