Engineered Foundations for Pump Jacks & Small Equipment Skids

At Screw Pile Installers, we provide light-duty, torque-verified helical pile foundations for pump jacks, metering skids, separators, and small compressor units. Our systems are designed for fast installation, reliable performance, and minimal disruption — perfect for active oilfield sites and brownfield operations.
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 Field Equipment and Production Sites

Oilfield infrastructure often requires compact, durable foundations that can be installed quickly and perform in any soil or season. Our helical pile systems are engineered specifically for smaller-scale equipment supports — providing stability and uplift resistance without the cost or logistics of large foundation work.
WHY CHOOSE US

Why Operators and Field Contractors Choose Screw Piles

Fast, Simple Installation
Foundations are installed in hours with compact equipment — no curing or concrete needed.
Ideal for Light and Medium Loads
Perfect for pump jacks, small skids, and modular process equipment with concentrated loads.
All-Season Capability
Install in frozen, wet, or clay-heavy soils without delays.
Low Environmental Impact
Minimal excavation and truck traffic — ideal for environmentally sensitive leases.
Compact Access Equipment
Easily mobilized to active well pads or confined lease sites.
Fully Documented & Code Compliant
Each installation includes torque logs, engineering drawings, and proof testing where required.

Applications for Pump Jack & Equipment Skid Foundations

Our helical pile systems are widely used across oil and gas production, gathering, and small processing facilities, where lightweight, verified foundations are critical to safety and uptime.
Pump Jacks & Beam Units
Support beam pump structures on stable, uplift-resistant foundations that prevent tilting or uneven settling.
Small Equipment Skids
Provide solid support for chemical injection, separator, and heater-treater skids — even on variable terrain.
Compressor & Metering Pads
Install fast, torque-verified foundations for small compressors, metering equipment, and manifold systems.
Valve & Header Supports
Compact foundations for header lines, valve manifolds, and wellhead appurtenances.
Portable & Temporary Installations
Removable foundations for seasonal or trial installations — easy to install, easy to reclaim.

Let’s Build a Strong Foundation Together

No waiting for concrete to cure, foundations are ready the same day, saving valuable build time.
Our Process

Installation Process: Fast, Verified, and Oilfield-Ready

Our field installation process is designed for active, operational environments — safe, efficient, and fully documented.
[01]
Site Assessment & Layout
We assess soil conditions, access limits, and equipment loading to determine the optimal pile type and configuration.
[03]
Pile Installation & Torque Monitoring
Each pile is advanced to an engineered torque value that correlates directly to load-bearing capacity.
[05]
Skid Connection
Piles are fitted with brackets or beams for skid attachment, ensuring a level, vibration-resistant base.
[02]
Mobilization
Compact, track-mounted or skid-steer-mounted drives are mobilized for fast setup — no cranes or concrete trucks required.
[04]
Verification & Integration
Torque data and optional proof tests confirm load capacity before the skid or equipment is placed.
[06]
Documentation & Completion
Torque logs, as-built records, and optional engineering certifications are provided at project turnover.

FAQ

Pump Jack & Skid FAQs

Most pump jacks and small skids require between 2 and 6 piles, depending on load and soil conditions. Each is torque-verified for required bearing capacity.
Yes. Our compact rigs and low-vibration installation methods make screw piles ideal for congested or operating sites.
Yes. All piles are hot-dip galvanized, and additional coatings or cathodic protection can be applied for high-corrosion soils.
Absolutely. Piles can be unthreaded and reused, minimizing restoration and costs on temporary installations.
Yes. Every project includes P.Eng-stamped drawings, torque verification logs, and QA documentation for client and regulatory compliance.
