Durable Foundations for Sports Facilities & Playgrounds
Sports facilities and playgrounds require foundations that are safe, stable, and built to endure years of activity and weather exposure. At Screw Pile Installers, we provide precision-engineered helical pile foundations for recreational and athletic structures across British Columbia and Alberta—delivering unmatched performance in strength, speed, and sustainability.
Whether you’re constructing a community sports field, playground, or recreational structure, our screw pile systems ensure your project is built on a strong, reliable, and low-maintenance foundation that lasts for decades.
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 Playgrounds, Arenas & Sports Facilities
Helical piles—also known as screw piles—provide a superior alternative to traditional concrete foundations for recreational structures of all kinds. From public parks to school playgrounds and sports complexes, our systems are designed to handle high-impact loads, seasonal soil movement, and challenging terrain with ease.
Each project is engineered for site-specific conditions, ensuring precise installation, compliance with safety standards, and a foundation built for long-term reliability.

Our Process
How the Helical Pile Installation Process Works
Our process ensures accuracy, efficiency, and long-term safety compliance, from initial design to final inspection.
[01]
Site Assessment & Engineering Review
We begin by assessing soil conditions, load requirements, and structure design to engineer a foundation plan that ensures proper load transfer.
[03]
Pile Installation
Using compact hydraulic drive systems, our installers screw each pile into the ground to the specified torque and depth.
[05]
Bracket or Beam Connection
Structural brackets or beams are attached securely to the piles, creating a stable, level base for playgrounds, bleachers, or recreational buildings.
[02]
Layout & Marking
Each pile location is precisely marked to align with structural and playground layouts, ensuring accurate support and perfect leveling.
[04]
Load Testing & Verification
We perform on-site torque and load testing to verify every pile meets engineering standards—providing peace of mind before construction begins.
[06]
Final Inspection & Cleanup
A final inspection ensures every component meets code compliance and performance standards. The site is then cleaned and leveled—ready for immediate construction.
Comparison
Helical Piles vs. Concrete Foundations for Recreation Projects
Yes. Helical piles are engineered to support both static and dynamic loads—ideal for equipment, stands, and heavy recreational infrastructure.
Absolutely. They’re vibration-free during installation and require no concrete curing, keeping the jobsite clean, stable, and safe for nearby activity zones.
Yes. Screw piles perform exceptionally well in soft, sandy, or sloped soils, making them ideal for outdoor sports fields and park installations.
Yes. Helical piles are removable and reusable, making them a smart choice for temporary installations like sports domes, rinks, or seasonal pavilions.
With proper installation, galvanized helical piles last 75+ years, ensuring long-term support for public and recreational facilities.
