Industries We Serve

Communication & Wireless

Demand for high-speed internet and data services in rural and remote areas means the pace of construction for communication towers is faster than ever. It's why more telecom companies and tower contractors are using helical piles to build their networks faster and safer.

Heading photo

Transmission & Distribution

As energy generation from renewable sources increases, and technologies like electric vehicles become more popular, Canadian power infrastructure needs a future-proof foundation. Helical piles are replacing concrete as the foundation of choice for transmission lines, substations, and equipment.  

Heading photo

Oil & Gas

In oil and gas, increased scrutiny from regulators and the public means it's more vital than ever that operations are safe for people and the environment. Our team has experience working safely on oil and gas sites to install helical foundations that ensure projects are built faster and more eco-friendly than ever before.

Indigenous Communities

Most foundations in Northern communities aren't designed for the tough climate and challenging soil conditions. This has led to an epidemic of foundation problems. Helical piles can provide a stronger, more durable, and far more economical, foundation solution for construction projects in Indigenous communities.  

Heading photo

Commercial & Industrial

Our team excels at engineering and installing foundations for large-scale projects in the commercial and industrial markets. Whether it's a multi-family housing complex on uncertain soils or mixed-use building in a busy city, we'll design a durable solution for you.

Agriculture

From barns to grain bins, helical piles are the faster foundation solution that has more farmers making the switch. When time is money, don't spend it waiting around for your foundation. Build and expand sooner on a better support for agricultural projects.

Frequently asked foundation questions

  • What are "industrial" helical pile foundations?

    We use the term "industrial helical piles" here at VersaPile to distinguish the helical foundations we install from other companies who primarily focus on the light-duty residential markets.
    While the engineering concepts behind an industrial helical pile foundation share similarities with residential helical applications, we believe it's important to draw a line between the two.
    Designing and installing high-capacity helical foundations for industrial-scale hydro, transmission & distribution, oil & gas, and Indigenous community projects, demands a high level of technical skill and experience.
    Our team has engineered and installed thousands of helical piles in some of the toughest conditions imaginable, supporting critical infrastructure like hydro transmission lines and telecommunication towers.

  • Where are helical piles being used in Canada?

    Helical pile foundations are used across Canada, and the world, for almost any project you can think of. From 30+ story highrise buildings to hydro utilities infrastructure and rural internet infrastructure, helical piles are used every single day to support industrial and residential construction.
    Some of the projects VersaPile can design and install helical pile foundations for include:● Hydro Utilities Infrastructure● Power Transmission Lines● Battery Energy Storage Systems● Distribution Substations● Transmission Stations● Communication Towers● Internet Infrastructure

  • Are helical piles better than concrete?

    There's no straight-and-easy answer to that question. Which foundation is right for your project depends on a wide range of factors, some of which are:● Location of your jobsite● Type of structure to be supported● Soil composition and conditions● Climate and weather conditions● Expected structural loads
    Once we understand all the factors associated with your project, we can tell you whether or not a helical foundation solution makes sense. If we see that another foundation technology, like concrete, would serve your needs better than we'll be honest and tell you that.

  • How long has VersaPile been in business?

    Our team has been designing and installing helical pile foundations since 2015. In total our employees have a combined total of more than 100 years working in construction and foundations.

  • Does VersaPile install foundations for residential projects?

    VersaPile does provide helical foundation design, engineering, and installation services for large-scale or highly technical residential projects.
    However, we do not perform installations for smaller projects like decks, home additions, fences, garages, etc.
