Fixed or adjustable pile heads
Depending on the nature of your project, the screw pile head will be fixed or adjustable. One of our experts will advise you which is the best choice for your needs.
A central shaft adapted to your needs
This long screw — a central shaft with a circular steel thread welded to the bottom — can be adapted to any type of construction or renovation. The central steel shaft can vary in diameter and length, the shortest measuring seven feet long. One of our installation specialists will determine which screw pile is best for your project.
Threads that allow for precision drilling
The threads are angled to create the desired pitch, which is carefully controlled with hydraulic equipment. These threads are the basis of the screw pile system and are commonly referred to as “blades.” The diameter and number of blades is determined based on the bearing capacity of the soil (compactness and type) and the load to be supported.
THE ADVANTAGES OF SCREW PILES
At Xtreme Post, we offer a modern, clean, affordable, accessible and safe alternative for all your foundation needs. In addition to coming with a lifetime guarantee against frost movement, our screw piles offer many other advantages over conventional poured concrete:

SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT
The quality control and expertise developed over the years at Xtreme Post have allowed us to build our own machinery.
Now ( Screw piles )
Guaranteed against frost movement. No excavation necessary. Clean. Multipurpose equipment ensures land does not get damaged. Fast — construction can start as soon as the screw piles are in place. Less time and money wasted, as planning is limited to placing markers to identify the desired location of the piles. Piles can be installed beneath existing structures.
Before ( Poured-concrete foundation )
Can shift due to ground motion and frost. Excavation required to pour concrete. Rubble and debris. Heavy machinery on grass and asphalt. Time spent waiting for the concrete to harden. Lots of planning required. Must be built before the rest of the project.
Xtreme Posts reliability
In fact, Xtreme Post his evaluated by the Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC 13353-R) and complies with the requirements of Québec’s Building Act, including the Construction Code and Safety Code, and Ontario’s Building Code Act and related rulings.
Xtreme Posts quality
In accordance with the standards and quality requirements to which Xtreme Post is committed, the load-bearing capacity (compression, tension) of every screw pile is confirmed by one of our experts upon installation. What’s more, where needed, an engineer will issue a certificate of conformity regarding the work to be done.
