Can helical piles be used in oil and gas infrastructure?
Helical piles have become a solution for the oil and gas industry, thanks to their speed of installation, reliability in remote conditions, and ability to support heavy loads with minimal site disturbance. At Alterrus, we specialize in engineered helical pile systems that are tailor-made for pipelines, compressor stations, oil pads, and midstream structures.
What makes helical piles ideal for oil and gas applications?
Oil and gas projects often face challenges like poor soil conditions, environmental restrictions, and tight construction timelines. Helical piles offer quick installation without curing time. Their modular design means piles can be extended to reach deep, stable strata even in marshes or unstable terrain.
How does Alterrus support energy clients with helical pile solutions?
At Alterrus, our team handles the process from start to finish:
- Geotechnical review and stamped designs based on soil borings.
- Fabrication of galvanized piles in-house, ready for fast deployment.
- Precision installation with real-time torque monitoring for QC.
- Immediate load capacity confirmation for every pile, no guesswork.
- Rapid delivery of as-builts and turnover packages to keep projects moving.
Are helical piles environmentally friendly for the oil and gas sector?
Compared to concrete foundations, helical piles minimize excavation, eliminate the need for curing, and can be removed and reused, making them a more sustainable foundation alternative for temporary or remote energy operations.
What types of oil and gas projects use Alterrus helical pile systems?
