Engineered Foundations for Metering, Instrument, and Control Stands
At Screw Pile Installers, we design and install light-duty, precision-engineered helical pile foundations for metering skids, analyzer stands, control cabinets, and instrumentation supports used throughout oil and gas operations. Our systems deliver stability, accuracy, and longevity — without the delays or mess of concrete.
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.
Reliable Foundations for Oilfield Instrumentation & Controls
Instrumentation and control systems require level, vibration-free foundations that maintain alignment and elevation accuracy over time. Our helical pile systems provide exactly that — torque-verified, low-impact foundations suited for metering systems, RTU panels, analyzers, junction boxes, and electrical cabinets in active field environments.
Keeps control equipment, cabinets, and instruments perfectly level, even in frost or shifting soils.
Fast, Clean Installation
Compact rigs install piles in tight or active sites — no curing or large excavations needed.
Minimal Vibration
Ideal for sensitive electrical and measurement equipment; low-impact installation prevents calibration drift.
All-Season Capability
Install year-round — frost, moisture, or temperature changes don’t delay your schedule.
Compact Equipment Access
Perfect for retrofits, tie-ins, or brownfield sites with existing piping and infrastructure.
Low Environmental Impact
Minimal soil disturbance, less haul traffic, and easy restoration of small work areas.
Engineered Documentation
All installations include torque logs, as-builts, and stamped engineering drawings for compliance.
Applications for Metering & Instrument Foundations
Our helical pile foundations are used across all stages of production, processing, and measurement — ensuring precise, stable support for instrumentation and control systems in challenging field environments.
Metering & Analyzer Skids
Provide torque-verified foundations for measurement systems and analyzers at custody-transfer or production sites.
RTU & Control Cabinets
Install solid, vibration-resistant bases for remote terminal units, PLCs, and control panels.
Electrical Junction Boxes & Enclosures
Stable, corrosion-resistant foundations for electrical and signal distribution cabinets.
Instrument Racks & Sensor Supports
Reliable mounting foundations for transmitters, pressure gauges, and inline instruments.
Communications & SCADA Antennas
Uplift-resistant bases for communications masts and low-profile antenna poles.
Small Equipment Platforms
Reusable foundations for access platforms or skid-mounted control systems.
Our Process
Installation Process: Safe, Efficient, and Precise
Our process is designed for tight workspaces, short timelines, and strict QA/QC standards — ensuring consistent results at every installation.
[01]
Site Evaluation & Design
We assess soil conditions, load data, and equipment footprint to determine pile type and spacing.
[03]
Pile Installation & Torque Monitoring
Each pile is installed to a precise torque value, confirming designed bearing and uplift capacity.
[05]
Verification & Documentation
Torque logs, as-built data, and proof testing (if required) are recorded and supplied for client QA/QC.
[02]
Mobilization & Access Setup
Compact hydraulic rigs are mobilized to site — suitable for congested pads or active production areas.
[04]
Leveling & Structure Integration
Pile caps or brackets are attached to receive skid frames, cabinets, or stands at exact elevations.
[06]
Completion & Turnover
Final documentation includes stamped drawings, torque reports, and warranty details.
