About Screw Pile Solutions
SERVING MANITOBA AND SASKATCHEWAN
Screw Pile Solutions Ltd.’s Founder, Ed Heppner, believes that buildings and relationships should be built to last on a solid foundation. Screw Pile Solutions Ltd, was constructed to be just that; a service people can rely on to be inventive and innovative, and solid in their promise of a job well done.
Ed Heppner was introduced to Helical Screw Piles as an alternative to concrete piles while working with an construction engineer near Austin, Manitoba and soon realized that screw piles were a solid, practical and efficient option for varying types of soils and cause minimal damage to the property in the installation process.
After launching Firm Foundations for You Inc. in 2010, Ed and his dedicated team of installers have successfully completed installation of 1000’s of screw piles in many applications across Western Manitoba. Screw piles have been installed for use under modular homes and under grade beams, garages, decks, gazebos, cottages, and in commercial applications.
In 2022, following a change in corporate structure, Firm Foundations for You Inc. rebranded as Screw Pile Solutions Ltd. and continues to deliver the same process, same service, same customer focus.
