Northern Helical Pile Ltd

Northern Helical Pile Ltd is an Ontario contractor based in Caistor Centre that installs galvanized steel helical piles, which it also calls screw posts. Its site pitches helical piles as faster, cleaner and stronger than a concrete foundation, since the pile can carry load right after installation.

The site lists applications that include houses, sheds and shops, cottages, pole barns, docks, solar installations, fences and decks. It stresses that there is no concrete curing wait and minimal site disruption. It names the Greater Toronto Area, Hamilton, Niagara Falls, Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, Cambridge, Milton and Brantford among the places it serves.

Call 416-986-6461 or email the address on the site to request a quote. Good questions include pile diameter and wall thickness, how installation torque is recorded, whether an engineer reviews the design, and how the warranty works.
