Specialty Structures: Engineering Foundations Beyond the Ordinary
When it comes to specialty structures, whether complex industrial facilities, unique architectural designs, or challenging infrastructure projects, Alterrus steps in with engineered helical pile systems designed to meet the toughest demands.
What Are Specialty Structures?
Specialty structures refer to buildings or installations that require custom-engineered foundations due to unique loads, unusual site conditions, or specific design requirements. Examples include:
- Communication towers
- Modular industrial skids
- Renewable energy platforms
- Elevated walkways and pedestrian bridges
- Temporary or permanent remote facilities
Why Choose Helical Piles for Specialty Structures?
Helical piles are the ideal foundation choice for specialty structures because they offer:
- Customizable design: Engineered to handle unique load configurations and soil conditions.
- Rapid installation: No curing time means faster project completion.
- Minimal site disruption: Perfect for sensitive or remote locations.
- High load capacity: Supports heavy structural demands with proven reliability.
- Corrosion resistance: Galvanized steel ensures longevity in harsh environments.
These benefits allow specialty structures to be built safely and efficiently, even in challenging terrains.
