Reliable Foundations for Solar Arrays & Wind Installations

Renewable energy starts with a reliable foundation. Whether you’re anchoring solar panel arrays or small-scale wind turbines, Screw Pile Installers delivers precise, long-lasting helical pile systems that stand up to Western Canada’s toughest soil and weather conditions.

Serving British Columbia and Alberta, we provide engineered screw pile foundations designed for maximum load capacity, frost resistance, and environmental sustainability—ensuring your renewable infrastructure stays secure for decades.
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.

Sustainable Foundations for Renewable Energy Projects

Solar and wind installations demand precision, stability, and environmental responsibility. Helical piles offer all three—providing a low-impact, long-life foundation solution that minimizes ground disturbance and speeds up installation timelines.
Every installation is engineered for durability, tested for torque and load capacity, and built to perform in harsh Western Canadian conditions—rain, frost, or snow.
WHY CHOOSE US

Why Helical Piles Are Ideal for Solar & Wind Installations

Helical piles provide a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to concrete foundations, reducing both installation time and environmental footprint.
Fast, Efficient Installation
Screw piles install in hours—not days—allowing immediate construction with no concrete curing delays.
All-Season Performance
From frozen prairie soil to rocky coastal terrain, our piles perform consistently year-round, even in sub-zero temperatures.
Eco-Friendly Choice
Minimal excavation, zero concrete, and a removable design make helical piles a sustainable foundation solution for renewable energy sites.
High Load Capacity
Engineered to handle heavy static and lateral loads, ensuring stability for solar racking systems and turbine bases.
Corrosion & Frost Resistant
Galvanized steel construction prevents corrosion, while deep installation below the frost line eliminates ground movement.
Scalable & Reusable
Ideal for modular solar arrays and wind systems—helical piles can be adjusted, expanded, or reused as projects evolve.
Our Process

How the Helical Pile Installation Process Works

Our process ensures every renewable installation is anchored for long-term performance, structural precision, and environmental protection.
[01]
Site Assessment & Engineering Review
We assess site conditions, including soil type, load requirements, and equipment layout, to design an optimal foundation system for your solar or wind project.
[03]
Pile Installation
Using advanced hydraulic drive systems, our certified technicians screw each pile to the required torque and depth for maximum load-bearing capacity.
[05]
Bracket & Frame Attachment
Once verified, structural brackets or mounts are secured to the piles, providing a stable and level platform for panels or turbine bases.
[02]
Layout & Marking
Each pile location is precisely marked based on your project’s design and racking configuration, ensuring perfect alignment and spacing.
[04]
Load Testing & Verification
We perform on-site torque and load testing to ensure every pile meets engineering.
[06]
Final Inspection & Cleanup
We complete a final inspection, verify structural integrity, and clean the site—leaving your renewable project ready for immediate installation.
