In the beginning, this enterprising company principally offered products and services for the residential sector. In the ensuing years, Techno Metal Post has expanded their markets and now offers deep foundation solutions for the commercial and industrial sectors as well.
The proven technology of Techno Metal Post is now used around the world.
Techno Metal Post is proud to inform you that its product line, conform to the National Building Code, is now extended to models with larger diameters. More specifically, models P5 and P6 (see selection table) are among the products certified by the Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC).
It is important to note that from a technical point of view, the relationship between driving torque and load capacity takes now in consideration soils composed of clay.
Note that Techno Metal Posts was the first company of foundation screw piers to achieve this certification in Canada in 2002.

«A New Jersey deck builder liked helical pier so much he started a new business»
Techno Metal Post makes the cover of "Professional Deck Builder Magazine" may/june 2012 edition picturing the R2D installation machine.
Greg DiBernardo, one of our dealers in New Jersey, wrote an excellent article describing how helical piers work and their specific benefits for deck projects.
The article describes the benefits of their use and a little more about the engineering behind them. A special contribution to the article from Techno Metal Post Alaska shows how posts can be installed through frozen ground using a proprietary heating element that thaws the ground around where the post is to be installed.
Those few pages in the Professional Deck Builder magazine are showing other contractors 'the best way' to install a foundation for a deck or any other type of project.
Last Saturday May 5th the Gran Bal des Etoiles d”or du Cercle Esteler took place.
This prestigious evening event is the occasion for honoring the 2011 performances of Belgian and Canadian businesses, and to award them with the Etoiles d’Or Cercle Trophy.
This year there were 7 companies in the running and Techno Pieux won, receiving the trophy that evening.
This recognition is testimonial to the determined work, and constant pursuit of quality undertaken by Pierre Lecocq, National Leader for Techno Pieux in Belgium and Luxemburg since 2005.
Since the creation of Techno Pieux BELUX, many projects have been carried out in Belgium especially for important underpinning jobs.
Pierre Lecocq has also led a geothermal pilot project with THP technology and with the collaboration of the University of Mons.
Finally, let us remember that Techno Pieux BELUX was the first European company to import the powerful ET-1, one of Techno Pieux’s specialized installation equipment.
Today, 3 Techno Pieux dealerships are busy in Belgium and the future looks promising with the new generation preparing to ensure the continuity of Techno Pieux BELUX.
Mr. Lecocq’s son David is a certified Techno Pieux installer and Heidi his sister who heads the communications and advertising were both present to receive the Cercle Esteler trophy.
