Top Screw Pile Edmonton

As screw pile equipment and technology has improved over the years we have advanced along with it.

It has become more common in Alberta to utilize screw pilings vs concrete.

Compact skid steers and high torque drive heads make building foundations possible and easy in any location.

Often providing an economical advantage over other piling alternatives.

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.

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
