Screw Piling Foundations

Screw piles or screw piers can also otherwise be known as screw foundations, screw anchors, helical piers, helical anchors, or helical piers. Across the times these products have been labeled differently, initiating confusion, allow us to clarify, these all refer to the same product.
Screw pile foundations are the ideal option for a variety of building structure types.

• Railways
• Roads
• Telecommunications
• Earthquake zones
• Lighthouses
• Industrial structures
• Commercial constructions
• Residential buildings such as decks and sheds, etc
• Retaining structures
• Masts
• Signs

Screw piles are made together with extendable tubular recycled steel shafts, along with hollow circular steel bearing plates, often called helical flights or flights, are welded over in different sections of the shaft varying in quantity, placement thickness and spans. These are all designed and determined by the site project and to suit the specific ground base/surface conditions.

Screw piles work by spiralling into the ground, simply like screws would, generally, screw piles are installed when between 10-25 feet beneath the ground base soil, yet screw piles can reach greater depths, if necessary, this is done with a variety of rotary ground moving hydraulic equipment appropriate for both tensile and compression loads.

Steel screw piles are a type of rapid deep foundation anchoring support system, the steel screw like structures cut ground surface, then deep beneath ground base and further in direction of their desired target depth, all with minimal noise and vibration, once installed, they are usually filled with materials such as concrete so they can permanently remain in place reinforcing the construction to the building structure above.
