OUR EQUIPMENT

Any yard, any challenge. We’ve got the equipment.

One compact tractor that puts every pile exactly where it belongs, with no digging (except in rare cases) and no damage to your property.

Compact tractor on turf tires with a 270° rotating drive head installing screw piles

Finished landscaping?

Turf tires and a 270° rotating drive head mean we can work around it without leaving a mark.

The tractor rolls over your lawn without rutting it, and the drive head swings to reach every support point without repositioning. Your flower beds, shrubs and landscaping look exactly the same when we leave.

Boom with a 9 to 14 ft reach and a 270° rotating drive head installing a screw pile perfectly straight

Sloped lot?

Our 9 to 14 ft reach arm and 270° rotating drive head keep every pile perfectly straight.

The tractor stays parked on level, stable ground while the tool adjusts to the slope. Straight piles carry the load properly, so your deck, shed or addition stays level for years.

Hit a rock?

Our tractor has a built-in backhoe, so we clear it and keep going.

We don’t normally dig. But if a big rock or stump is in the way of a pile, we dig at that one spot only. No second machine, no rescheduling: it all gets done the same day.

Compact 48 in. wide tractor with a 9 to 14 ft boom reach installing screw piles in a tight space

Tight access?

At just 48 in. wide, with a 9 to 14 ft reach, our tractor gets where others can’t.

A narrow gap between houses, a cluttered backyard, a tight corner by the foundation: where heavy equipment won’t fit, we will. No fences to take down, no trees to cut.

Need dead-on accuracy?

Our arm and drive head run on a remote control, so the installer can stand right next to the pile.

Rotation, arm movement, torque: it’s all controlled remotely. Our pro sees exactly where the pile goes in, makes adjustments in real time and checks the torque on every single pile.

All-in-one compact tractor operated by an experienced screw pile installer

More than one challenge?

Everything is built into one tractor, run by our experienced installers.

Rotating drive head, long-reach arm, turf tires, backhoe, remote control and a compact frame: one machine shows up, ready for whatever your site needs. Fewer trips, no delays, and piles done right the first time.

COMPARISON

Sonotubes or screw piles?

A foundation doesn’t have to be concrete to be a real foundation. Its job is to carry the structure and keep it stable for years to come, through every freeze and thaw.

Here’s how they stack up.

Sonotubes (concrete piers) Pro Post Foundations screw piles
Digging Full excavation, lawn and flower beds often torn up No digging, lawn and flower beds untouched
When you can build After 24 to 48 hours of curing Same day, within a few hours
Municipal approval Inspection needed before the holes are filled in, which can hold up the job Technical report and compliance letter available for pre-approval
Weather Cold slows curing We install right up until the ground freezes
Load capacity Estimated on paper Measured by torque, pile by pile, on site
Your yard afterwards Often needs repairs Untouched, no trace
Total foundation cost $$$ $$
Lifespan 40 to 60 years Code compliant, built to last 150 years
Building code Compliant if the code’s prescribed method is followed Compliant pile, independently evaluated by CCMC (13608-R)

« The technician who came out really knew his stuff. He was precise, calm and even had a sense of humour. True professional work. When my wife got home, she was impressed too. I’d recommend them. I don’t mind paying when the job is done right.»

« I called in a rush, needing an install by Monday morning. The woman on the phone took all my info, I emailed a quick sketch and had my quote within 30 minutes. The installer showed up Monday at 8:45 a.m.! Great job, everything’s straight, I’m really happy!»

FAQ

Still have questions? We’ve got answers.

How much does a pile costs?

It depends on how many piles you need, the weight they’ll carry and the type of your soil. In most cases, screw piles cost less than poured concrete or Sonotubes, since there’s no digging and no curing time. A free, no-obligation quote will give you an exact price.

Can screw piles replace Sonotubes?

Yes. They do the same job, holding up your structure, without the digging or the curing time, and with load capacity measured on site instead of estimated on paper. They can also be reused, unlike Sonotubes.

How long do screw piles last?

Galvanized screw piles are designed to last over 150 years, depending on soil conditions and the type of project.

Will the piles move with the frost?

No. Unlike surface foundations, Pro Pieux screw piles go in below the frost line, and their load capacity is measured by torque on every pile, right on site. They’re designed to anchor below the frost zone in any soil, whether it’s clay, rock or unstable ground. We guarantee our piles won’t move once installed. If they do, we’ll come back and fix it at our expense.

Can you install in rocky soil?

We install across Eastern Canada in every type of soil. Clay, sand, rock or fill: we assess your soil before every job and have methods for each. If conditions call for it, we adjust the pile type, the method or the equipment. Our technical team confirms everything when we assess your site.

Can you install in winter?

We install right up until the ground freezes, but not in the dead of winter. You can still use that time to get your assessment, quote and planning done, so your piles go in as soon as spring arrives.

Do I need a permit or a technical specification?

It depends on your municipality. Some require a technical report for this kind of project. If yours does, we can provide one and include it in your quote.

How long does installation take?

Most residential jobs are done in a few hours, the same day. Unlike poured concrete or Sonotubes, which need 24 to 48 hours to cure, you can usually start building as soon as the piles are in.

It all starts with a solid foundation.
