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 Modular & Temporary Buildings

Unlike permanent buildings, modular and temporary structures often need to be installed quickly, relocated in the future, or removed with minimal site restoration. Helical piles are ideally suited to these requirements, offering a strong yet reversible foundation solution that performs reliably in a wide range of soil conditions.
Whether supporting site offices, workforce housing, classrooms, or equipment shelters, our systems integrate seamlessly with modular frames and skids.

Our Process

Our Modular Foundation Process

We follow a streamlined, engineering focused process to ensure fast delivery and dependable results.
[01]
Structural Review & Load Assessment
We review modular unit weights, layouts, and support points to design the appropriate pile configuration.
[03]
Helical Pile Installation
Using compact hydraulic equipment, piles are installed to engineered depth and verified torque values, confirming required load capacity.
[05]
Bracket or Frame Connection
Custom brackets or caps are installed to create a level, secure interface for modular placement.
[02]
Layout & Positioning
Pile locations are precisely marked to align with modular frames, skids, or chassis systems.
[04]
Verification & Documentation
Torque records and installation data are documented for engineering review and inspection needs.
[06]
Final Inspection & Site Readiness
A final inspection is completed and the site is left clean, stable, and ready for structure placement.
