Alpine Site Services Advantages
Advantages
Custom engineered screw piles offer numerous benefits that can streamline your construction project, save valuable time, reduce costs, and ensure long-term reliability. Discover why custom engineered screw piles are becoming the go-to foundation solution for various applications such as oil and gas, power, solar, lighting, commercial, and residential.
Save Valuable Time
- Faster Installation: Custom engineered screw / helical piles are up to four times faster than traditional methods like drilled piers, caissons, and driven piles. Using multiple machines, you can further reduce installation time, making your project more efficient.
- Access Difficult Sites: Custom engineered screw / helical piles are perfect for tight or challenging locations. Their compact installation process requires far less space than other foundation methods, allowing the rest of the site to continue working concurrently, boosting overall productivity.
- Weather-Resistant Installation: With custom engineered screw / helical piles, your project stays on track no matter the weather. These screw / helical piles can be installed in nearly any condition, including snow or rain, ensuring your construction timeline stays intact while other teams may face delays.
Control Costs & Save Money
- Upfront, Transparent Pricing: Custom engineered screw / helical piles come with clear, up-front pricing. Unlike traditional foundation methods, you won’t encounter unexpected costs for additional length, casing, or rock once the job is done. You can budget with confidence.
- Cost-Effective Foundation: Thanks to their design and streamlined installation process, custom engineered screw piles are consistently more affordable than other deep foundation systems. The quicker installation and lower material costs result in overall savings, making screw / helical piles a budget-friendly option.
Proven Reliability
- Load-Tested for Performance: Each custom engineered pile is rigorously load-tested to ensure it meets performance expectations and provides the stability your project requires.
- Torque Monitoring System: Our patent-pending torque monitoring system guarantees the consistency and quality of the installation, ensuring your piles are installed to exact specifications for optimal strength.
- Engineer Verification: Throughout the installation process, detailed data and charting outputs are provided for your engineers to verify and review, giving you peace of mind that the custom engineered piles are performing as expected.
Simple Change-Over
- Effortless Transition: Transitioning to custom engineered screw / helical piles from traditional foundations is seamless. Our pre-engineered details and drawings simplify the change-over process, making it quick and efficient.
- Easy Caisson to Screw / Helical Pile Conversion: If you’re currently using caissons or another deep foundation system, Alpine can custom engineer a solution to replace your existing system. Our engineers will handle the approval process with local building officials to ensure the screw / helical piles are accepted as an alternative foundation system.
- Minimal Client Involvement: The entire conversion process is typically completed with minimal effort from you. All we require is a set of plans, load information, and a soils report. Most caisson-to-screw / helical pile conversions are completed within a 2-day turnaround.
- Ongoing Testing: To ensure continued performance, we provide lateral, axial, and tension testing annually, so you can rest assured your custom foundation solution is performing optimally long after installation.
