Franki Piles Contractors

Franki Piles Contractors

Franki Piles Contractors

(OP)
We have a project in Quebec, Canada. The recommendation for foundation support is to use Franki piles. We have a difficulty finding contractors with expertise and manpower to carry out the installation of approx. 200 piles. We would appreciate help in identifying qualified contractors in Maritimes, Ontario and North-East US capable of instaling Franki piles.

Thanks for help.

RE: Franki Piles Contractors

Isn't Franki Pile in Toronto anymore??  Used to be.  Also try to find Western Caisson (Toronto) or Bermingham (Hamilton Ontario).

RE: Franki Piles Contractors

Big H,

I believe Franki went belly up recently.

Wow.  That's a shame -

RE: Franki Piles Contractors

Franki Pile is still alive and well, but only operate under that name in Australia. I don't know of anyone that installs Franki Piles any longer in North America. Franki Pile Australia is a sister company of Hayward Baker who is in North America and offers a similar product, Vibro Concrete Columns. Check out  http://www.haywardbaker.com

RE: Franki Piles Contractors

Yes, Franki is no longer in the US, and yes, Hayward Baker does offer Vibro Concrete Columns.  And I do believe that they have worked in Canada.  Call 410-551-1890.  That is the northeast regional office.  Good luck.

RE: Franki Piles Contractors

As you are in Canada - do check out Western Caissons of Toronto or Bermingham in Hamilton.  If they don't install expanded base piles (Franki-type), I'm sure they will advise who does in the Montreal/Quebec area.  I apologise that I've been out of touch with the nuts and bolts of such contractors over the last 10 years.
