Chinook Screw Piles

Chinook Screw Piles is a screw pile contractor at 1512 29 Ave SW in Calgary, Alberta. Its website says it installs helical screw piles under homes, decks, garages and commercial buildings throughout Calgary and southern Alberta.

The company states that each pile leaves a written torque record and that engineering is supplied wherever the permit calls for it, with stamped plans available on request. It lists deck foundations, garage foundations and grade beams, home additions and sunrooms, modular and mobile home foundations, underpinning, foundation lifting and levelling, wall anchors and tiebacks, slab jacking, commercial piling and oilfield piling. Winter installation is offered, and the site says the company is insured with WCB coverage.

Service areas listed include Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane and Okotoks, and the site says travel is never billed as an extra. It describes a four-step process, from sharing your plans to site layout, installation and a records handover, and quotes typically come back within 48 hours. Call (587) 355-8527 and ask to see sample torque records.
