Techno Metal Post Helical Piers

What is a helical pier?

The idea behind a helical pier is simple: It is essentially a steel tube with a helix-shaped tip that can be screwed into the ground as a solution to traditional foundations. Techno Metal Post's high-quality helical piers are manufactured in North America, installed using specialized equipment, and backed by an in-house engineering team. Combined, these elements ensure the strength, stability, and durability of your projects- large or small- regardless of soil conditions.

Techno Metal Post helical piers consist of four main components:

1
The Pile Cap

The top plate connects the helical pier directly to the structure itself (deck, house, beam, etc.). Depending on the type of material used and construction method, the appropriate plate is then selected to ensure a secure and durable installation.

2
The Pier

Manufactured from high-quality North American structural steel, Techno Metal Post screw piles are size-determined by our in-house engineering team based on the type of structure and its specific requirements.

3
The Helix

Welded to the base of the helical pier is the helix. This part securely anchors into dense soil, providing structural stability. With the help of specialized equipment measuring the torque during installation, the exact load-bearing capacity of each pile is verified on-site.

4
The Exclusive Green Sleeve

Designed for extreme weather conditions, Techno Metal Post helical piers include an exclusive green sleeve that glides along the pier during freeze and thaw cycles. This allows the pier to stay securely anchored, in turn providing structural stability.

Installations are simple

How does an installation work?

1
Project Planning

Contact your local installer, who, with the help of our in-house engineering department, will determine the type of screw piles and support plates required for your project.

2
Installation

Our certified installers screw the piles into the ground using our specialized machinery until the required soil density is reached.

3
Real-time Verification

During installation, our specialized equipment measures the driving torque, allowing us to confirm and guarantee the stability of each installed screw pile.

4
Fitting

Once the piles are in place, special support plates are installed to receive the structure.

Engineering & Certifications

1
In-house Engineering Services

Our internal team of engineers analyze your projects, determine the type of pile best suited to your soil conditions, and provide the necessary documentation and conformity certificates required by local authorities.

2
Material Standards

Techno Metal Post screw piles are manufactured from structural steel (ASTM A500 Grade C) and welded in accordance with CSA W47.1 standards. They have also been load-tested in accordance with ASTM-D1143 and ASTM-D3689 standards in various soil conditions worldwide.

3
International Residential Code (IRC Code)

Techno Metal Post received an evaluation report (ESR #3418) from the ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) and International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officers (IAPMO) ER-481 approval, providing evidence that our products comply with code requirements in the United States.

4
Lifespan of a Techno Metal Post screw pile

On average, the lifespan of the pile ranges from 75 to 100 years. Techno Metal Post uses extra-thick steel and hot-dip galvanization in accordance with ASTM standards, which significantly extends the screw piles' service life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find the answers to your most common questions

The price of a helical pier varies depending on the type of project, the depth of the load-bearing soil, the required load-capacity, and the anti-corrosion protection. Costs will also differ between deck projects and house projects. For an accurate estimate, contact your local Techno Metal Post installer.

Techno Metal Post screw piles provide year-round stability thanks to their below-freeze-line installation as well as their exclusive green sleeve, which reduces soil friction around the pile. This system prevents the pile from movement caused by fluctuating weather conditions, namely freeze and thaw cycles ensuring a solid, long-lasting foundation.

Our helical piers are typically anchored between 5-6 feet below the freezing line, in accordance with the National Building Code and municipal requirements. This ensures optimal stability and long-term durability, adapted to the soil conditions and regional climate.

Techno Metal Post helical piers are suitable for a wide range of applications, from light patios / decks to multi-story buildings. They can fully support a standard house by transferring loads deep into the ground, ensuring long-term stability and eliminating the risk of movement.

Techno Metal Post screw piles offer a cost-effective, quick and durable foundation solution when compared to concrete. Labor costs and construction delays are reduced, while providing superior stability and the ability to also reinforce concrete foundations by transferring loads to deeper, load-bearing soil layers.
