A tried and tested solution!
The weight that the rails of a railroad must support is enormous. In addition to this heavy load, the rails are also subjected to rolling, which can lead to long-term derailment. Fortunately, GoliathTech helical (screw) piles are an effective alternative to the traditional support systems used until recently in the rail industry. Unlike traditional solutions, GoliathTech helical (screw) piles are made entirely of galvanized steel, which makes them corrosion resistant. In addition, they are installed deep into the ground, to achieve maximum stability for the safety of all.
A rapid and damage-free installation
Our quick installation process, carried out with light and compact equipment, allows you to avoid excavation and begin building as soon as the installation of the helical (screw) piles is complete. In addition, we can install them in all types of soils and spaces, even restricted ones that would normally be hard to reach. With the help of our certified installers, GoliathTech’s screw piles will support the foundation of your railway for many years to come.
Finally, don’t forget that screw pile foundations are much more economical than traditional concrete foundations. This is another advantage that can’t be overlooked!
Before installing your deck using screw piles, contact one of our certified installers so that they can determine the type, amount, and location of the helical (screw) piles to be installed. Depending on your project, the installer will be able to estimate the costs.
There are 2 types of foundations that can be used for homes: spread footing/foundation wall (or frost wall) and concrete slab-on-grade. helical (screw) piles can be used to support both the concrete and the home, above grade. Using our calibrated installation equipment, we install the piles at a minimum depth to a specific torque. With the information obtained from the installation equipment, we know the exact compression and tension capacity of each pile. We then encase the pile head with the concrete footing or concrete slab to ensure the concrete will not settle or crack over time, which is often the case when piles are not used.

YES/NO
We can install a home on piles alone, however, some areas still require a spread footing even though piles are used.
