ShalePro Energy Services Announces New Division: HelicalPro

ShalePro Energy Services announced their new helical pile division, HelicalPro today. The division will focus on the installation of helical piles for natural gas construction projects. 

“HelicalPro will offer our clients a cost and time savings alternative to traditional concrete foundations,” said ShalePro CEO Bill Johnson. “They are ideal for countless foundations in the oil & gas industry in both the Upstream and Midstream sectors.”

Helical piles are a type of deep foundation. They are screwed into the ground to achieve a specific torque relating to an above ground bearing capacity. These piles are installed with minimal ground disturbance and limited material displacement. Installation of the piles consists of a drive head on a skid steer which rotates with slight downward pressure and twists the pile into the ground to the necessary depth to achieve the required torque.  

“We are partnering with Chance Foundation Solutions as our supplier and Intech Anchoring Systems for distribution and engineering support,” said Bill Smith who will be leading the new HelicalPro division. “We have also partnered with Digga to provide us the drive head machinery needed for our jobs.”

The partnership with Chance, Intech, and Digga provides multiple warehouse locations for immediate deliveries of a wide range of helical pile sizes and specs to fit our clients’ needs, as well as continued education and training on the technology and installation techniques. Working with the Intech engineers, HelicalPro able to provide stamped design drawings and load calculations to fulfill a particular client’s request. Using ShalePro’s fabrication shop, they have the ability to fabricate custom pipe and skid supports to get the maximum flexibility out of the installed helical piles. 

Helical piles produce innumerable benefits when compared to commonly practiced foundations, including the ability to provide support for both permanent and temporary foundations and the ability to install them near existing foundations because installation causing no vibrations to the area.
