Deep Foundations for Indigenous Communities

Foundations Designed for Your Community

Most foundations in Northern Communities fail to perform in the challenging conditions these locations bring. We design and install helical pile foundations that will provide sustainable, steadfast support for generations to come

Indigenous people, supporting Indigenous communities

Indigenous Communities are facing a housing crisis.
Houses are missing exterior doors, windows on buildings don't close properly, walls are cracking, and mold is growing in walls and ceilings.
Most of these problems can be traced to one thing: the foundations used in Northern Communities are not designed for the tough winter conditions you face. At VersaPile we work with communities like yours to provide a faster, safer, more effective foundation solution.

Residential Housing

From single-family dwelling to multi-unit structures, helical piles are perfect as housing foundations in Indigenous and Remote Communities. Because helical piles have great frost resistance, prevent foundation shifting, and can be installed in poor soils, they're ideal for the unique conditions in your community.

Single Family Dwellings

Multi-Unit Buildings

Cabins & Hunt Camps

Temporary Housing

Community / Commercial

Whether you're building a new health center or a large community complex with multiple services, helical piles are suited to the task. Capable of supporting large and heavy structures, a helical foundation will ensure the investments you make into your community will remain sturdy and safe for years to come.

Heath & Community Centers

Bridges, Docks, Piers

Schools & Rec Facilities

Outbuildings, Garages, Sheds

Industrial / Development

As more companies are looking to Northern Canada for natural resources to develop, it's their legal obligation to include your community on any development happening on your land. Helical piles are excellent industrial high-capacity foundations ready to offer heavy-duty support for the mining, forestry, and energy industries

Safer

Because they require dramatically less equipment than concrete or driven piles and creates virtually zero noise or disturbance, a helical solution is safer for your on-site employees

Less Land Impact

Stewarding the land means we consider the impact of our construction now and for future generations. Helical piles use far less raw material and can be removed without damage or disturbance

Easier to Store

Concrete mix can quickly spoil if left in the outdoors, wasting money and materials. Helical piles can be stored outside in the elements with no concerns about spoilage

Easier Mobilization

Helical piles require minimal equipment to transport and install, meaning you can save big on the high mobilization costs that can come with other solutions on the market

Peace of Mind

We can monitor, track, and test, every aspect of a helical pile's performance during (and after) installation. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your foundation is unshakable

Adaptable

Our experienced engineering partners can fix a solution to almost any foundation problem. Whether you face marshy muskeg or dense hard pan, we'll help you lay a sturdy foundation
