Screw Pile Foundations for Manitoba Building Inspectors & Engineers
CCMC-certified helical pile foundations with full engineering documentation. Everything your inspection package requires.
Our piles carry CCMC Certification #13102-R — the Canadian standard accepted by building authorities across Manitoba.
CCMC Certification #13102-R
The Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC) is responsible for the evaluation and technical assessment of all construction materials used in Canada. CCMC certification #13102-R confirms that our helical screw pile system has been tested and approved to meet Canadian construction standards.
This certification is required or requested by most Manitoba municipalities, building inspectors, engineers, and insurance providers before approving a helical pile foundation system.
Our CCMC certification can be independently verified through the National Research Council of Canada CCMC Registry.
Building Code Compliance in Manitoba
Manitoba’s building code follows the National Building Code of Canada. Helical screw pile foundations are accepted as an engineered alternative foundation system under the NBC when installed by a certified installer using a CCMC-evaluated product. Our system meets these requirements in full.
Every Screw Pile Solutions installation is performed by a trained, certified installer using CCMC-evaluated equipment and procedures. Our installations meet the requirements of the National Building Code of Canada as adopted in Manitoba.
Contractors and homeowners in Manitoba regularly submit our documentation package directly to municipal building departments across Winnipeg, Brandon, Portage la Prairie, and rural municipalities. Our pile layout drawings and load reports are designed to meet the documentation requirements of Manitoba building inspectors.
What’s In Every Documentation Package
Every Screw Pile Solutions installation includes a complete documentation package ready to submit with your building permit application.
Pile Load Report
A certified engineering report confirming the load-bearing capacity of every pile installed. Specifies pile diameter, depth, torque readings, and calculated load capacity. Signed and sealed as required.
Pile Layout Drawing
A detailed site drawing showing the exact location, depth, and specification of every pile installed. References the Pile Load Report. Ready to submit as part of your building inspection package.
CCMC Certificate Reference
Documentation confirming CCMC certification #13102-R. Provided with every installation package for inclusion in your building permit and inspection records.
Frequently Asked Questions for Inspectors & Engineers
What is CCMC certification and why does it matter?
The Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC) is a division of the National Research Council of Canada. CCMC evaluates and certifies construction materials that are used as alternatives to conventional systems. CCMC certification #13102-R confirms our helical pile system has been independently tested and approved to meet Canadian construction standards. Most Manitoba building authorities, engineers, and insurance companies require CCMC certification before accepting a helical pile foundation system.
Can I verify the CCMC certification independently?
Yes. CCMC certification #13102-R can be independently verified through the National Research Council of Canada’s CCMC registry at nrc.canada.ca. The certification is publicly searchable and confirms the pile system’s evaluation status.
What does the Pile Load Report include?
The Pile Load Report documents the installation parameters for every pile on the project: pile diameter and length, installation torque readings, calculated load capacity based on the torque-to-capacity correlation, and pile identification by location. The report is produced by a certified installer and references the CCMC certification. It is designed to be submitted directly with a building permit application.
Have the piles been performance tested?
Yes. Our pile system has been tested to rigorous industry standards as part of the CCMC evaluation process (certification #13102-R). Performance testing includes load testing to failure, cyclic loading, and freeze-thaw performance testing. Results are documented in the CCMC evaluation report available through the NRC registry.
Is a warranty provided with each installation?
Yes. Every installation includes a manufacturer’s warranty against pile defects and a certified installer warranty against movement due to frost. Warranty documentation is available upon request and can be included in building permit packages.
