Helical Underpinning Winnipeg

Our primary focus is on helical piles and screw piles installation as a comprehensive underpinning solution. Helical piles offer a versatile and effective method for stabilizing foundations, particularly in situations involving settlement, uneven load distribution, or compromised soil conditions. The helical design allows for precise installation and immediate load-bearing support, contributing to the restoration and reinforcement of structures.

While our expertise lies in helical pile underpinning, we recognize that each project is unique, and our approach is tailored to the specific needs of the structure. We thoroughly assess the conditions of the foundation, considering factors such as soil composition, structural load requirements, and the extent of settlement. This assessment informs our decision to exclusively recommend and implement helical piles or, if necessary, a combination of underpinning methods that align with industry best practices and engineering standards.

Our commitment to quality and adherence to engineering principles ensure that the chosen underpinning methods provide a durable and long-lasting solution for your foundation's stability and structural integrity.

Accessing the foundation area for underpinning involves a methodical approach to ensure safety and precision. Our team carefully excavates to footing level using hydro-vac and mechanical equipment to prepare for screw pile placement. This process allows us to create a clear and controlled workspace for the underpinning procedure. 

Once the excavation is completed and a safe working environment is established, hydraulic concrete cutting equipment is employed to create openings in the footing. These openings are strategically made to facilitate the proper placement of underpinning brackets. This comprehensive process ensures that the foundation area is accessed with the precision required for successful underpinning while prioritizing safety and structural integrity.

The duration of the underpinning process varies based on several factors, including the size and complexity of the project, the extent of foundation issues, and the specific underpinning methods employed. A typical underpinning project, including helical pile or screw pile installation, may take several weeks to complete, but it's important to note that each project is unique.

It's recommended to consult directly with our team for a more accurate estimation based on the specific details of your project. Factors such as the site conditions, the size of the structure, and any unforeseen challenges can influence the timeline. We prioritize efficiency while maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality in every phase of the underpinning process.

The safety of occupants during the underpinning process is of paramount importance. Generally, underpinning involves excavation, structural modifications, and lifting procedures, which can introduce some level of disruption. However, with proper planning and safety measures, it is possible to minimize any potential risks and ensure the safety of the occupants.

Depending on the scope of work and the condition of the building, we can provide guidance on whether the structure can be safely occupied during underpinning or if temporary relocation may be advisable for certain phases of the project. Our priority is to conduct underpinning in a manner that prioritizes both the safety of the structure and the well-being of its occupants.

Yes, All screw pile winnipeg, projects include detailed documentation, structural warranties or guarantees. The specific details of the warranty may vary depending on the scope of work, the type of underpinning method employed (such as helical piles), and local regulations.
