Engineered Foundations for EV Charging Infrastructure

At Screw Pile Installers, we provide fast, precise, and low-impact helical pile foundations for electric vehicle (EV) charging sites — from standalone fast chargers to solar carports and commercial charging hubs.
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.

Helical Pile Systems for EV Charging You Can Trust

As EV charging networks expand across North America, developers, utilities, and contractors rely on helical piles for quick-deploy, code-compliant, and durable foundations that support chargers, canopy structures, and electrical equipment with minimal site disturbance.
WHY CHOOSE US

Why EV Infrastructure Developers Choose Screw Piles

Fast Installation
Foundations can be installed in hours, not days — no concrete curing or formwork required.
Ideal for Confined or Urban Sites
Compact equipment enables efficient installation in parking lots, urban corridors, and existing paved areas.
All-Season Performance
Installed year-round, even in frozen or saturated soil conditions.
Strong Uplift & Lateral Capacity
Designed to resist wind and impact loads on chargers, canopies, and power cabinets.
Minimal Excavation
Low-disturbance installation keeps active lots open and reduces restoration costs.
Long-Term Durability
Hot-dip galvanized steel ensures lasting corrosion resistance for outdoor electrical sites.
Compliant & Documented
Each project includes torque logs, load verification, and stamped engineering drawings for full permit compliance.

Applications in EV Charging Projects

Our helical foundations support all major charging site configurations — scalable, sustainable, and adaptable to any environment.
Fast-Charging Stations (Level 3/DCFC)
Stable, vibration-resistant foundations for heavy chargers, bollards, and protective pedestals.
Solar Canopies & Carports
Strong, torque-verified piles for solar-integrated parking canopies and covered charging stations.
Commercial & Fleet Charging Hubs
Reliable, repeatable foundations for multi-unit fleet or depot charging infrastructure.
Utility Cabinets & Electrical Enclosures
Precise foundations for transformers, power distribution skids, and switchgear cabinets.
Parking Lot Retrofits
Install foundations through existing asphalt or concrete with minimal disruption to active facilities.
Remote or Off-Grid Charging Sites
Portable, removable foundation systems for highway, mining, or remote charging applications.
Our Process

EV Charging Installation Process

Our installation process ensures precision, safety, and compliance — essential for electrical and civil integration at EV sites.
[01]
Site Review & Engineering Design
We analyze site plans, load data, and surface conditions to determine optimal pile size, spacing, and layout.
[03]
Pile Installation & Torque Monitoring
Each pile is installed to an engineered torque value, confirming immediate bearing and uplift capacity.
[05]
Structural Integration
Brackets or beam connections are attached for charger pedestals, canopy bases, or cabinet frames.
[02]
Layout & Mobilization
Pile locations are marked and compact, low-clearance machinery is deployed to minimize footprint and disruption.
[04]
Load Testing & Verification
Optional proof testing validates design assumptions and provides QA documentation for permit submission.
[06]
Documentation & Handover
You receive torque logs, test data, and stamped engineering drawings for a complete closeout package.
