Piling Contractors – Helical Piles Services in Greater Toronto Area
Helical Piles Toronto & the GTA | Shorecon
Fast. Reliable. Engineered Foundation Support.
When your project needs a dependable deep foundation, helical piles deliver speed, precision, and proven performance. Shorecon installs helical piles in Toronto & the GTA for new builds, additions, decks, slab support, underpinning, and foundation repairs. Our trained crews use torque-monitored installation to verify load capacity and ensure long-term stability.
What Are Helical Piles?
Helical piles (also called screw piles or helical piers) are steel shafts with helical plates that screw into the soil. They transfer structural loads to suitable bearing strata with minimal excavation and vibration. Because installation is fast and controlled, helical piles are ideal for tight sites, poor soils, and sensitive surroundings.
Benefits of Helical Piles
Speed & Efficiency — Rapid installation; immediate loading in many cases.
Retaining Structures & Tiebacks — Lateral restraint and slope support.
Temporary Works — Shoring bracing, staging, and event structures.
We size piles by design loads, soil profile, access constraints, and corrosion considerations. Our team coordinates with your engineer to select the shaft diameter, helix configuration, and galvanizing where required.

Our Helical Pile Process
Assessment & Design Coordination — We review drawings, loads, and geotechnical data; then we propose pile types and test plans.
Mobilization & Test Piles — Where appropriate, we verify torque-to-capacity and installation parameters.
Installation & Monitoring — Calibrated equipment records torque, depth, and refusals for QA/QC.
Connections & Verification — Caps, brackets, or grade-beam connections; an installation log is provided.
Handover — Documentation and sign-off suitable for permitting and closeout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do helical piles make the most sense? Tight access sites, poor soils, additions, decks, underpinning, and where low vibration matters.
Can helical piles be installed in winter? Yes. With the right equipment and procedures, year-round installation is common in the GTA.
How do you know a pile can carry the load? We correlate installation torque with capacity and follow design requirements for depth and helix configuration. Installation logs are provided.
