Foundations in Environmentally Sensitive Areas
C
ompleting any construction work in environmentally sensitive areas is very challenging and your options are limited. Protecting and preserving the natural habitat while building anything is difficult if traditional construction methods are used.
Techno Metal Post has developed machinery and installation best practices that are environmentally friendly, ensuring flora and fauna remain protected and wildlife habitats and ecosystems are preserved. This is a huge positive for any conservation authority when your project is being reviewed and approved for construction. 
Because there is no concrete or digging required, our helical piles can be installed during the winter months when sensitive areas (like swamps and wetlands) are frozen. Our specialized equipment on tracks allows access to areas where other heavier excavation equipment would sink in swampy areas or riverbeds and destroy plant and animal species. Precise installation of our piles ensures minimal disruption to the environment and our equipment is low impact so getting in and out of areas is easy.
Techno Metal Post’s Engineering Department reviews, analyzes, and certifies projects so that things can move forward efficiently and quickly. Our in-house engineers determine what is most effective for projects depending on the scale and environment. They determine the appropriate pile size and helix diameter, depending on the structure, load requirements, and soil type. Whether it is a boardwalk, pedestrian bridge, or trail, we make sure the installation of the foundation complies with all municipal/county and conservation regulations and adheres to strict quality and safety standards.
