Working with your community

At VersaPile, we work with Indigenous contractors like you.

Providing foundations that are designed for the weather and soil conditions in your community.

Indigenous Communities are facing a housing crisis. Houses are missing exterior doors, their windows don't close properly, the walls are cracking, and mold is growing. Often these problems can be traced to one thing: foundations used in Northern Communities are not designed for tough winter conditions and we work with these communities to provide a better choice. We work with you to install helical pile foundations that stand strong, even in the harshest conditions.

We also train contractors and builders in Northern and Remote Communities to become foundation installers.

Even if you've never worked with foundations before, our friendly experts can train you how to through our First Foundations Program. This is a program that trains Indigenous contractors to install quality screw pile foundations in their community and beyond.

Not only will you learn to install foundations in your community, but you can become a foundation contractor for neighboring communities and local businesses.

Contact us today, and we'll help you put a foundation under your community that will last for generations.

Engineering excellence

Is there a difference between helical piles, screw piles, ground anchors and whatever else you might call those "screw in the pile thingies?"

Yes! We view "screw pile" as a generic term used to describe a steel pile that is turned in the ground. Within the world of screw piles there are helical piles, ground anchors, augured piles and ground screws. A helical pile, is the most reliable of the bunch.

A helical pile is designed in accordance with helical pile engineering principles. There are extensive engineering manuals based on extensive testing conducted on helical piles which does not exist with other "screw pile" options.

This means we can install helical piles in accordance with 185 years of cumulative engineering pedigree and empirical engineering principles. Helical piles installed by helical pile nerds, like VersaPile, are your best bet for foundation performance.

Innovative design

What are helical piles?

Pile caps and adapters

A wide range of pile adapters and caps are available to fit most common foundation configurations. We can also create custom pile adapters to fit your requirements! From wood posts and beams to concrete gradebeams or insulated concrete forms (ICF), a helical pile can support and secure to any structure, making them a versatile foundation.

Pile shaft

VersaPile, Inc. offers round shaft helical piles. To date, we have not found a project that would benefit from a square shaft pile. All pile shafts consist of new steel which conforms to the CSA's general requirements for rolled or welded structural quality steel.

Postech Screw Piles, a brand we love to install, features a unique insulated shaft that offers additional resistance to frost heave.

In Manitoba, we prefer a 10ft shaft to ensure the helical is anchored well below our up to 8ft frost line.

Helical blade

The helical is what provides the incredible weight-capacity of a helical pile. Because every helical pile we install satisfies design criteria for generally accepted, universal principles for helical pile design and installation, we can install helical piles to perform like no other foundation can. All helical blades should have a perfectly controlled pitch and leading and trailing edges parallel to one another.

Faster, easier and no mess

Professional install of helical piles for just about any foundation requirement.

There are numerous advantages to choosing a helical pile for decks, patios and so many more foundation requirements and below is an example of a Versapile professional install of helical piles for a deck in Winnipeg with really tight access.
