Reliable Foundations for Drive Sheds & Workshops

For drive sheds, workshops, and agricultural storage buildings, a strong foundation is everything. Screw Pile Installers provides engineered helical pile foundations that deliver lasting strength, precision alignment, and year-round performance—without the delays and cracking risks of concrete.

Serving British Columbia and Alberta, we help farmers and landowners build dependable, low-maintenance structures designed to withstand Western Canada’s demanding soil and climate conditions.
Whether you’re building on clay, sand, slopes, or frost-prone terrain, our screw piles provide unmatched stability and faster installation
than traditional concrete footings.

Engineered Foundations for Agricultural Workshops and Storage

Drive sheds and workshops are essential to daily farm operations—housing vehicles, tools, and equipment that must stay safe, dry, and secure. Helical piles provide a stable, frost-proof, and long-lasting foundation ideal for both new builds and expansions.
Every project begins with soil assessment and structural analysis to ensure your workshop or drive shed remains level, stable, and code-compliant for decades.
WHY CHOOSE US

Why Builders Choose Helical Piles for Drive Sheds & Workshops

With the speed of installation and strength of steel, helical piles are the modern foundation solution for any agricultural workshop or drive shed.
Fast, Year-Round Installation
Our screw piles can be installed in any season—including frozen or wet conditions—so you can start building immediately without waiting for concrete to cure.
Built for Heavy Loads
Helical piles provide exceptional load-bearing capacity for steel-framed or post-frame buildings, supporting everything from tractors to fabrication machinery.
Frost-Proof & Durable
Installed below the frost line, our galvanized steel piles resist heaving, corrosion, and shifting caused by seasonal ground movement.
Minimal Site Disruption
No digging, concrete mixing, or heavy excavation—just a clean, efficient process that protects your surrounding land.
Precision-Level Accuracy
Laser alignment ensures every pile is installed to exact elevations, keeping your floor or frame perfectly level.
Sustainable & Reversible
Helical piles can be removed, adjusted, or reused with minimal environmental impact, making them an eco-friendly foundation choice.
Our Process

How the Helical Pile Installation Process Works

Our installation process ensures fast, precise, and code-compliant results every time—so you can start construction without delay.
[01]
Site Assessment & Engineering Review
We analyze your site’s soil conditions, structural loads, and layout to design a customized helical pile foundation plan.
[03]
Pile Installation
Using specialized hydraulic equipment, our certified installers screw each pile into the ground to the required torque and depth—creating an instant load-bearing foundation.
[05]
Bracket or Beam Attachment
Once the piles are verified, structural brackets or beams are attached to connect your workshop’s base frame or posts securely to the foundation.
[02]
Marking Pile Locations
Pile locations are precisely marked according to your building plans to guarantee exact spacing and alignment.
[04]
Load Testing & Verification
We conduct torque and compression testing to ensure each pile meets engineering standards for your structure’s load requirements.
[06]
Final Inspection & Cleanup
After installation, we complete a detailed inspection and leave your site ready for construction—clean, level, and engineered for longevity.
