title: Edmonton Concrete Piles: Ensuring Durability and Longevity in Construction

description: Among the many construction uses for precast Edmonton Concrete Piles are foundations, bridges, and marine structures. Their strength and versatility make them ideal for supporting heavy loads and structures in challenging soil conditions. New construction, as well as renovations and repairs to older structures, frequently make use of precast concrete piles. The ability to insert precast concrete piles into the ground with minimal interference to nearby regions makes them a desirable option for reinforcing and repairing foundations.

Buildings designed by engineers can be supported by this type of piling. This is suitable in the majority of cases and applies to all types of businesses. The use of precast concrete piles is justified in situations where dry strata lie over soft sediment. Furthermore, they are effective even on soil that is polluted or otherwise unfriendly.

They are adaptable to many different types of soil and can be shaped with the help of a pile cropper. This is especially true when reducing the items to the recommended pile cutoff level. One reason they have been around for so long is because they provide a cost-effective piling solution in this way.

Reinforcing and supporting foundations are just two of the many applications that benefit from their robust character and ability to endure tough soil conditions. Due to their little effect on the surrounding areas during construction, precast concrete piles are an eco-friendly option. If builders are aware of the advantages of precast concrete piles, they may choose the finest foundation solution for their projects.

The installation of concrete piles does not typically result in significant material waste or degradation, therefore they are highly advantageous.

Steel sheet piles last longer and need less upkeep due to their high corrosion resistance. Their versatility allows for efficient installation and removal, reducing environmental impact. Steel sheet piles have many advantages as a construction material, including durability, longevity, and structural performance.

One major benefit of steel sheet piling is its extraordinary strength. Steel can withstand severe weather and heavy loads since it is strong and durable. This makes steel sheet piling an ideal material for retaining walls along roads railroads, or any other project that needs to keep a lot of dirt or water contained.

How are piles produced, and what kinds of piles are there?



For centuries—if not millennia—piling has been and is an essential part of the building industry. Transferring weight from an elevated structure to the ground is the primary function of piles.

The definition and background of piling will be covered in the first part of this course. The article continues by explaining the two main kinds of pile foundations, the steps involved in building and installing piles, and the importance of using safe working platforms to support piling rigs.

Property subsidence can be secured in an affordable and non-invasive manner with screw piling underpinning. This method stops any additional movement caused by factors such as groundwater loss, trees getting larger over time, or roots absorbing enormous amounts of water from the earth.


Using our screw piling foundation technology as an underpinning solution is a perfect match. The inability to employ a larger machine for excavation due to restricted access is a prime example of this. Then, to be safe, we'll pour concrete or use crushed debris to encircle the screw pile underpin cap and prevent the building from shifting any further. The current state of the ground following excavation will inform our engineer's decision on this matter.

If you see any signs of building sinking or cracks, don't hesitate to contact Shield Foundation Repair Inc. Our professionals can remedy it quickly and affordably.
