Stable, Long-Lasting Foundations for Grain Bins & Silos
When it comes to grain storage, stability isn’t optional—it’s essential. Screw Pile Installers provides engineered helical pile foundations that ensure your grain bins, silos, and hopper-bottom storage systems remain level, secure, and safe year after year.
Serving farms across British Columbia and Alberta, we deliver foundations designed to withstand heavy vertical loads, frost movement, and variable soil conditions, offering unmatched reliability compared to traditional concrete pads.
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 Support for Agricultural Storage Structures
Grain bins and silos must handle immense loads—often exceeding hundreds of tons—while resisting movement from frost, shifting soils, or wind. Helical piles provide a strong, maintenance-free foundation system that outperforms poured concrete, especially in Western Canada’s demanding climates.
Each system is engineered for load-bearing precision, soil compatibility, and long-term resistance to settlement—ensuring your valuable grain stays safe, dry, and stable.
WHY CHOOSE US
Why Farmers Choose Helical Piles for Grain Storage
Whether you’re building new storage capacity or replacing aging footings, helical piles offer a proven, cost-effective solution for stable, permanent agricultural foundations.
Unmatched Stability
Helical piles provide deep, torque-anchored support that resists settling, shifting, and frost heaving under heavy loads.
Engineered Load Performance
Every pile is designed for the specific weight and footprint of your grain bin or silo, ensuring even distribution and structural safety.
Fast Installation
No waiting for concrete to cure—installations are typically completed in hours, keeping your project on schedule.
Minimal Site Preparation
Helical piles require little to no excavation, making them ideal for rural and uneven terrain where concrete may be impractical.
All-Season Usability
Install year-round—even in frozen ground or during wet conditions—with no delay in use.
Corrosion-Resistant Durability
Hot-dip galvanized steel provides long-term protection against moisture, soil acidity, and corrosion, lasting 75+ years in most environments.
Our Process
How the Helical Pile Installation Process Works
From planning to installation, our process ensures strength, accuracy, and long-term reliability—tailored to your structure’s exact load requirements.
[01]
Site Assessment & Engineering Review
We begin with a detailed assessment of your site’s soil profile, frost depth, and load-bearing needs.
[03]
Pile Installation
Using compact hydraulic equipment, we screw each pile into the ground to a pre-engineered torque depth, creating an immediate, load-ready foundation.
[05]
Structural Connection
Piles are capped or bracketed to match your bin or silo’s base design, providing a perfectly level, reinforced platform for long-term performance.
[02]
Precision Marking
Each pile location is marked with precision based on bin dimensions, anchor spacing, and load transfer points, ensuring proper alignment and balance.
[04]
Load Testing & Verification
We perform on-site torque and load testing to confirm each pile meets or exceeds engineering standards before installation is approved for load transfer.
[06]
Final Inspection & Documentation
Upon completion, we perform a full inspection and provide torque logs, load test data, and engineering certifications for your records and permit requirements.
Yes. Helical piles are specifically engineered for extreme vertical and lateral loads, making them ideal for heavy agricultural storage structures.
By anchoring deep below the frost line and verifying installation torque, each pile provides a stable, frost-proof connection to the soil, preventing settlement or uneven load distribution.
Absolutely. Screw piles provide precise point support for hopper legs and framing systems, distributing loads evenly and ensuring long-term stability.
Yes. Helical piles perform exceptionally well in soft, sandy, or clay-heavy soils, where concrete often fails to maintain stability over time.
When galvanized and properly installed, screw piles last 75+ years with no degradation or maintenance required.
