Screw Piles for Decks
When building residential decks, it is ideal to use screw pile foundations. Decks with conventional concrete foundations may shift under the weight of extreme weather, harming the deck. Helical screw pilings are a durable foundation that work well for building decks and porches because they are resistant to frost jacking. Not only that, but the compact equipment used to install screw piles allows for a fast, non-invasive installation process in which the equipment can easily access most residential yards without the need to remove fencing.

Screw Piles for Covered Decks & Sunrooms
There are new loads and strains that must be taken into account when a roof is put on a deck. Under the Alberta Building Code, decks with rooves are required to have an engineering design created by an engineer and approved through the permitting process. To fulfil these requirements, we construct and install our engineered screw piles to meet these engineered designs. Upon request, we offer stamped engineering drawings and torque data. Engineers can certify these reports and submit them with your permit application. ensuring a secure and solid framework that’s safe for you to enjoy your expanded living space.
Screw Piles for Preformed Stairs
Pre-formed stairs that have moved or even fractured are not unusual to encounter. Concrete steps weigh a lot. They can shift if they are not supported by a sturdy base, and due to their weight, they may crack or break without a solid foundation. The good news is that strong screw pile foundations are available from the Fort McMurray Screw Pile Pros. Even our smallest screw piles have a capacity of more than 5000 lbs per pile. Screw piles are a good option for supporting pre-cast staircases. To learn more about Calgary screw piles, get in touch with us.
Screw Piles for Grade Beam Construction
A grade beam is a reinforced concrete beam that distributes pressure from a bearing wall to a screw pile or other spaced-pier foundation. To support loads for garage walls and house extensions that do not employ wall footings like a residential basement would, helical screw piles can be positioned beneath a grade beam. The weight of the wall is transferred directly into the ground through the screw piles by the installed grade beams, which support weights on the soil. When the surface soil’s capacity to support loads is less than the anticipated design loads, as it is for the soil in the Fort McMurray area, grade beams are employed. Rebar within the grade beam is attached directly to the screw piles using special-grade beam rebar pile caps. Connecting a grade beam to its deep ground anchor system this way means the highest construction quality that is built to last.
Screw Piles for Concrete Support
Concrete slabs, sidewalks, and poured steps may get damaged as a result of movement due to poor soil conditions. Poor soil erodes or settles, losing its ability to hold concrete, which leads to cracking and breaking. The helix of a screw pile disperses the weight well below the surface of the ground. As a result, helical piles are extremely sturdy and do not heave or settle. Despite the state of the surface soil, installing helical screw piles under your concrete supports the concrete uniformly. Concrete slabs and steps have a longer lifespan and are more durable thanks to the solid and even load-bearing support provided by screw piles.
