Durable, Eco-Friendly Foundations for Boardwalks, Trails & Pathways
When it comes to building outdoor recreation spaces—whether it’s a nature trail, elevated boardwalk, or park pathway—stability and environmental sensitivity are key. At Screw Pile Installers, we provide engineered helical pile foundations designed specifically for boardwalks, trails, and pathways across British Columbia and Alberta. Our low-impact installation process protects the environment while providing lasting structural strength that stands up to time, weather, and heavy foot traffic.
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 Trails, Parks & Natural Areas
Building recreational infrastructure often means working in sensitive ecosystems, wetlands, or remote areas where traditional foundations are impractical. Helical piles—also known as screw piles—are the ideal solution for environmentally conscious construction, offering durability, versatility, and minimal disturbance to surrounding landscapes.
Each installation is carefully planned to meet engineering, environmental, and accessibility standards, ensuring a long-lasting foundation that blends strength with sustainability.
WHY CHOOSE US
Why Builders Choose Helical Piles for Recreational Projects
Whether you’re installing a hunting cabin, pump station, or power enclosure, our helical pile foundations ensure reliable strength, even in the most remote environments.
Low Environmental Impact
No excavation, concrete, or soil spoil—ideal for protected and natural areas.
Fast, Clean Installation
Install foundations in hours without disrupting vegetation or habitats.
All-Season, All-Soil Reliability
From wetlands to rocky terrain, helical piles perform in virtually any soil or weather condition
Long-Term Durability
Galvanized steel resists corrosion and moisture, ensuring decades of reliable support in outdoor environments.
Removable & Reusable
Piles can be uninstalled or relocated when trails or pathways need to be expanded or realigned.
Let’s Build a Strong Foundation Together
No waiting for concrete to cure, foundations are ready the same day, saving valuable build time.
Our helical pile process ensures stability, speed, and environmental protection from start to finish—perfect for nature-focused construction.
[01]
Site Assessment & Engineering Design
We start by reviewing soil conditions, structural loads, and environmental constraints to create a foundation plan tailored to your project.
[03]
Low-Impact Installation
Using compact hydraulic equipment, each pile is screwed into the ground to the required torque and depth. The process is vibration-free and safe for nearby vegetation and wildlife.
[05]
Bracket or Beam Integration
Piles are capped and fitted with structural brackets or beams to create a solid, level, and weather-resistant base for decking or platform construction.
[02]
Marking Pile Locations
Our crews mark pile placements to align perfectly with the boardwalk or trail design—ensuring stability and consistency across every section.
[04]
Load Testing & Quality Verification
Each pile undergoes torque and load testing to confirm it meets engineering and safety standards for long-term performance.

Final Inspection & Site Clean-Up
Before completing the project, we inspect and verify every foundation component. The site is left clean, level.
Comparison
Helical Piles vs. Concrete in Recreational Construction
Yes. Helical piles require no excavation or concrete and can be installed with minimal ground impact—ideal for parks, wetlands, and conservation areas.
Absolutely. Screw piles are designed to perform exceptionally well in soft, saturated, or unstable soils common in wetlands and shorelines.
Yes. Piles can be fitted with custom brackets or beams to support all types of decking materials and structural designs.
Typically, yes. Our team assists with engineering documentation and permitting to ensure full compliance with municipal and environmental standards.
Properly installed and galvanized screw piles can last 75+ years, even in high-moisture or coastal conditions.
