Helical Pile Foundations for a Solar Farm in Alberta, Canada
This ground-mounted solar project in Warner County, Alberta, used helical pile foundations for its mounting structures. The project records identify a capacity of approximately 41.4 MW and a site area of approximately 334 acres. With foundation points repeated across the array, pile position, elevation and connection consistency were important to the mounting-system layout.

Engineering Theoretical Explanation
Helices provide bearing surfaces within the ground and can resist axial compression and uplift as established by the design. Lateral behaviour and connection forces require separate checks.
Installation torque provides a useful field-control record when assessed with depth and an appropriate project-specific correlation. It is not, by itself, a guaranteed load rating.
For cold-climate projects, frost effects, site soil conditions and durability requirements must be reviewed in the design. The selected installation depth cannot be inferred from the location alone.
Project Value
We provide reliable foundation solutions for solar, construction, and infrastructure projects worldwide.
