Engineered Foundations for Wellhead & Header Supports

At Screw Pile Installers, we design and install light-duty, torque-verified helical pile foundations for wellhead equipment, header supports, manifolds, and tie-in assemblies across oil and gas production sites. Our systems deliver stability, compliance, and long-term durability — built to perform under field conditions where reliability is critical.
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 Production Headers & Wellhead Structures

Wellhead and header systems require precise, stable foundations that prevent movement, settlement, and stress on connected piping. Our screw pile solutions are engineered to provide a low-impact, long-lasting foundation for these vital components — ideal for both permanent installations and small retrofits on active leases.
WHY CHOOSE US

Why Producers and Field Contractors Choose Screw Piles:

Engineered Stability
Resists settlement and shifting, protecting wellhead and header alignment under thermal or pressure changes.
Fast Installation
Compact rigs install piles in tight or active sites with minimal disturbance — no curing or formwork required.
All-Season Performance
Installs in frozen, wet, or soft soils without delays, allowing year-round deployment.
Low Environmental Impact
Minimal excavation and soil disruption — perfect for brownfield sites and operational facilities.
Compact Equipment Access
Install around existing piping, concrete pads, or above-ground infrastructure with precision.
Torque-Verified Load Assurance
Each pile’s bearing and uplift capacity is verified in real time through torque monitoring.
Full Engineering Documentation
Includes stamped drawings, torque logs, and optional load test reports for compliance and QA.

Our Process

Installation Process: Precise, Safe, and Efficient

Our process is engineered for performance in active oilfield environments, ensuring safety, accuracy, and minimal operational disruption.
[01]
Site Review & Design
We analyze loads, soil conditions, and site layout to determine optimal pile size, spacing, and connection design.
[03]
Pile Installation & Torque Monitoring
Each pile is advanced to target torque levels corresponding to engineered load capacity.
[05]
Verification & QA
Torque logs and optional proof tests confirm performance; documentation is compiled for client records.
[02]
Mobilization & Access
Compact, track-mounted or skid-steer-mounted rigs are deployed to site for quick setup.
[04]
Structure Integration
Piles are fitted with brackets, caps, or beams to interface with wellhead frames, manifold bases, or header skids.
[06]
Final Handover
Includes stamped drawings, torque data, and warranty details.
