Calgary Ground Conditions
Calgary's soil changes from one side of the city to the other, so each job is engineered for its lot. In the northwest and west (Rocky Ridge, Aspen Woods), glacial till full of rocks and cobbles calls for high-torque equipment and hardened helix plates. In the southeast and south (Mahogany, Seton), heavy expansive clay heaves when it freezes, so piles often go 10 feet or deeper. Every pile is set below Calgary's 6 to 7 foot frost line.
