Force Copps owns and operates a large fleet of tracked and wheeled Junttan hydraulic piling rigs, allowing us to safely and efficiently complete all projects to the highest standards. We provide foundations for a variety of applications and structures, such as: pipelines, buildings, bridges, communication towers and much more. Our driven steel piles typically range from 114mm to 900mm in diameter, and 9m to 20m in length.

Force Copps offers the ability to install varying pile sizes horizontally, or at any angle, and can support tensile and compressive loads. Our helical pile installation equipment is mounted on tracks to provide access to areas with problematic subsurface conditions such as uneven or soft ground. To ensure quality control is maintained and engineered capacity is reached, the units are equipped with torque monitoring systems capable of recording real-time digital measurements.

Force Copps advanced pre-drill services allows us to install piles in the most adverse sub-surface conditions, including frozen ground, rock and other formations. We overcome these challenges using tools such as Kelly auger drills and air hammer, as well as button, tricone and carbide bits.

As a CWB approved company, Force Copps provides a wide variety of welding procedures to accommodate any customer requests or designs: from cutting and capping to final cut-offs and splicing. For helical pile projects, Force Copps engineers and fabricates our helical pile designs in-house.

Force Copps fleet of pickers provides the versatility to drive piles and then lift the structure in place using a single piece of equipment. Our pickers are capable of installing piles up to ??m in length, to a maximum diameter of ??mm in radius.

We design, engineer and fabricate static load testing beams and pile connections. Static load tests can be applied to sacrificial piles to measure and evaluate engineering design factors. This can help determine if there is an opportunity to safely decrease pile size or quantity – to reduce project costs. Force Copps has provided static load tests at the onset of a number of large projects, resulting in significant cost savings to our clients.

Pile Dynamic Analysis (PDA) is an important step in the quality control process to confirm the pile bearing capacity meets specifications. As a test pile is driven, dynamic measurements are recorded using strain transducers and accelerometers attached near the top of the pile.

Our geomatics team will ensure the pile layout is precisely followed. Geomatics services include:

• Foundation Layout
• Pile Cut-Off Elevations
• Pile Cap Layout
• Pile Coordinate Mapping
• Pile and Pile Cap As-Built Data

Force Copps’ Geomatics team employs leading-edge custom workflows and automated data handling processes to eliminate field errors and reduce project delays. We capture realistic heave data and provide accurate embedment guidance through pile installation. Real-time reporting through pile installation allows Force Copps to react promptly to changing project conditions, while engaging Quality, Operations and Engineering to keep the project progressing smoothly.

Force Copps engineering team is available to help find solutions to unique ground conditions or to optimize designs. Once the project requirements and scope are determined, we will develop a timeline and budget for the project.

Force Copps has a proven track record of managing large-scale projects. We identify any potential timeline impacts using our proprietary digital pile installation data system, Copps Management System (CMS). This helps mitigate any issues early on. Our dedicated project manager will coordinate all aspects of the project to keep it on budget and on schedule.

Force Copps provides efficient, high-quality piling by measuring tolerances and specifications against IFC drawings throughout a project. Improvements to quality control systems based on this real time feedback help to continually improve our service and end-product for our clients.

Adherence to specifications is a core function of our construction planning, and is integral to the success of every Force Copps project. From the pre-planning phase forward, our customers can see the attention to detail and professional care given to each project. Force Copps knows that field work must be supported by accurately and timely produced turnover documents to support engineering requirements. Accurate piling reporting is assured through an extensive auditing process.

If required, piles can also be monitored using Pile Dynamic Analysis, along with the supporting engineering, to ensure capacities are met. Force Copps produces industry-leading turnover documents that can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements as needed. Each successful piling project is supported by judicious QA/QC documentation to verify our end product.
