Our Story
Screw Pile Solutions Ltd.’s Founder, Ed Heppner, believes that buildings and relationships should be built to last on a solid foundation. After being introduced to helical screw piles as an alternative to concrete while working with a construction engineer near Austin, Manitoba, Ed quickly recognized their advantages for varying soil types and minimal property disruption.
After launching his foundation company in 2010 (originally Firm Foundations for You Inc.), Ed and his dedicated team successfully completed installation of thousands of screw piles across Western Manitoba. In 2022, following a change in corporate structure, the company rebranded as Screw Pile Solutions Ltd. and continues to deliver the same process, same service, and same customer focus.
