Helical Pile Installations are Ideal Solutions for Calgary and the Surrounding Area

Because of the rocky soil conditions in the Calgary area, screw piles are often ideal for professional foundation solutions. Made from metal alloy, helical (or screw) piles are screwed into the ground vertically, diagonally or horizontally using a machine with a hydraulic-driven head to build deep foundations.

Helical piles can have an additional load incorporated, which would allow a single-story home to be renovated into a 2-story home. Helical piles can be used as foundations for a variety of structures including transmission towers, pipeline saddles, and decks to mention just a few.

Advantages of Helical Pile Installations

With correct installation, helical screw pilings can offer numerous benefits to commercial and residential clients. Some of these advantages include:

• Easy & rapid installation
• Versatility (allowable loads for screw piles can go as high as 500 tons)
• Cost-effectiveness
• Low noise installation process
• No concrete installation required (saving both time and money)
• Reduced environmental impact (less soil displacement and reduced carbon footprint)
• Decreased project times
• Ease of access during construction
• Ease of removal when the foundations are no longer required
• Reduced risk to the workforce
• Adaptive to a variety of installation angles
• The installation process requires little or no dependence on the weather
• Reusable

Helical piles are especially practical for industries where quick installation is necessary, or where construction is being done close to existing buildings. From roads to telecommunications, screw piles are used extensively. Helical piles are also an excellent solution for new buildings or existing structures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of soil conditions are best for helical pile installations?

Screw piles are excellent for a wide range of soil and load applications. From very soft to stiff clays to loose or dense sands, helical piles work well for a variety of subsurface conditions. Specific-sized screw piles must be used based on the maximum grain size of the soil. Working with an experienced, professional team, such is our trusted Abalon representatives, can help best determine when helical pile installations are applicable, based on the soil type your home sits on.

Are helical screws able to carry immediate load?

Helical piles are unique from most other types of foundation repairs and can bear weight immediately after installation; without waiting for concrete or other materials to harden. Helical screw installations are ideal for projects in need of quick turnaround times.
