Screw Piles vs Concrete Piles Cost

Screw Piles vs Concrete Piles Cost

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.

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.

Installing screw piles is fast, economical and non-invasive.

When installed with the right equipment, there is very little disturbance to the soil.

This means there is no excavating or backfill required and more foundation stability.

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 can be many reasons why your home’s foundation may need to be strengthened, including: * The foundation has shifted or moved due to earthquakes.

* Soil has eroded beneath or around the foundation, causing cracks, sloping or sinking.

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.

This article is the forth installment of the Foundation Repair Guidelines for Homeowners series.

The first three articles covered information on structural repair, site analysis, foundation repair proposals, preventing foundation damage, and basement leaks.

Part one of this article discussed the importance of ground water management, not only as essential to a complete foundation repair plan, but as a proactive approach to preventing foundation damage and basement seepage from occurring.

The foundation of your home would be considered as the most crucial part of the entire house.

It carries the responsibility of shouldering the entire load weight of your home.

Having a problem with the foundation can cause damage to your home, lessen its value and puts your safety at risk.

Knowing what is happening below your foundation is the first step to having it repaired.

Whether it is a settlement issue or a bowing wall, foundation repairs will make your home structurally sound again.
