Unshakeable Foundations For Retaining Walls in Winnipeg

Hold the earth at bay, protect your property, and increase functional space on your yard, with a solid helical pile retaining wall foundation

The Premier Support For Your Retaining Wall

Retaining walls have a tough job. Dirt is heavy and can exert tens of thousands of pound of force. That means an ultra-strong foundation isn't just "nice to have", it's essential. Helical piles have taken center-stage as the foundation solution for retaining walls.

  • Unique design delivers large load capacities in a streamlined package, eliminating site disturbance

  • Can be easily installed horizontally into hillsides and cuts to deliver incredible holding strength

  • Durable "helix plate" anchors firmly into soft soils, ensuring long-term performance

Why Helical Pile Foundations for Retaining Walls In Winnipeg?

  • Eliminates Excavation & Mess

    Installing a typical foundation for a retaining wall can involve serious disruption to your land. Helical piles skip the hassle and allow you to have a secure foundation installed with zero (or minimal) digging or disturbance to your property. We even use ground mats to protect your grass from our equipment!

  • Perfectly Suited For Loose Soils

    Much of the soil we face in Winnipeg and throughout Manitoba is comprised of soft, loose, wet material. These soil conditions can be a big challenge for foundations. Collapsing dirt makes excavating for concrete a chore and long-term performance can suffer in poor soils. A helical foundation, conversely, delivers immovable support in the most treacherous soil conditions this province can bring.

  • Strong & Durable Support

    Dirt is heavy, especially when it becomes saturated with water. If your retaining wall isn't properly supported by a strong foundation, it will likely experience structural problems and even collapse. With a helical foundation, your wall will be better equipped to resist even the most strenuous loads from saturated dirt and will hold fast for many years into the future.
