In the realm of structural building support, especially in regions like Red Deer, Alberta, where typically clay based soil conditions can be challenging, combining helical screw piles with concrete grade beams offers a robust solution. This method ensures stability and durability, proving ideal for deep ground support in both residential and commercial construction. Here we explore the benefits of this innovative pairing and why it represents a superior approach to traditional foundation methods, where concrete piles are used for the deep ground support.

Helical screw piles are a type of deep foundation that may be quickly installed with little noise and vibration. Similar to how a screw is put into wood, screw piles are wound into the ground. Screw piles are made from a steel shaft with a helical blade attached to one end. The blade, more commonly referred to as the “helix,” is what is turned into the soil and transfers the load on the pile’s shaft into the earth
