Education @ Your Desk. A Live Webinar Class means that you will attend the class via the web using your computer. There are scheduled breaks for coffee and lunch. You use a microphone, headset, or your phone and are able to interact with the instructor and other students while following notes while watching the presentation slides online just as you would in a live classroom. Notes are posted online. For an extra cost a hard copy can be requested.
The virtual classroom is becoming more and more popular, and we have a lot of experience teaching in this format. The only real difference between a live in-class and live via webinar is where you sit and what you look at. You can learn from the comfort of your own home or office. You pay less for the live webinar format than you would for the in-class format, and you do not have to travel to another city to attend the class. Please contact us at [email protected] for Special Group & Corporate Rates for one or more participants.

Daily Schedule: 12:00pm MST - Session begins 3:00pm MST - Adjournment This course is divided into four sessions. Each session will be 3 hours in duration. The sessions will be held on Sept 14-15 & 21-22, 2023. If you are unable to attend any of the sessions a recording will be made available.
Description Helical foundation systems offer a versatile replacement of conventional deep foundations solutions. The most important differences between the helical foundations and the conventional foundation types are mainly in method of construction. Helical piles need much less construction time and could be used or loaded immediately. Helical piles could be used where conventional deep foundation cannot. Underpinning is the best example of these unique differences. This course will focus on the design, construction and field acceptance criteria’s for the helical (screw piles). The course notes, lectures and hands on design examples will compose a comprehensive reference for the state of knowledge and guidance for future use.
The fundamental mechanisms by which helical piles develop resistance to load are described in a manner consistent with basic principles of soil mechanics. Along with the thorough description of installation methods and equipment that is provided, the concepts used for design and quality control/quality assurance follow logically. The section on corrosion and life expectancy is particularly important now as applications of helical piles expand into greater use with permanent structures with longer intended service periods. Applications for helical piles are described which may prove novel to many engineers and open opportunities for innovation and development of more cost-effective solutions. Objectives The main objective of this workshop is to enable participants to select the best helical foundation solution for different types of civil engineering problems. After completing the course participants should be able to design helical foundations and supervise their construction. Understand the acceptance criteria, and related equivalent torque design. The course philosophy is to provide the participants with the information they need to design foundations at the state of the art. The information is supplied in a simple and systematic way, discussing topics where current knowledge is lacking and more understanding is needed. Target Audience This workshop will be suitable for Structural engineers, geotechnical engineers, technicians, and technologists. Civil engineers, public works and construction department employees of federal, provincial and municipal governments and engineers responsible for large industrial, commercial or institutional facilities who must deal with different types of foundations. The course will be of interest to a wide range of practicing civil engineers at different stages in their careers. Some familiarization with soil mechanics is desirable but the knowledge is not required at a specialist level. After attending this course you will be able to:
- Determine screw pile carrying capacity
- Select best screw pile type for your projects
- Evaluate the helical pile acceptance criteria
- Design helical foundation system with more confidence
Special Features
The two-day course will consist of a series of lectures and workshops. Worked examples with numerical reference will reinforce the lectures. Case studies which illustrate the full range of problems are a feature of the course. There will be workshops on helical pile design under different types of loads; a display of DYNA 6 modelling of pump station on screw piles will be displayed. The following will be covered: - An assortment of projects Oil & Gas related, hilite the Grizzly Oilsands Algar Lake project
- An assortment of projects PT&D related, hilite the DCAT project
- An assortment of projects Commercial Construction related, hilite the Seymour Pacific Apartment project
- An assortment of projects where there is a Unique Applications
