Understanding Screw Piles

What Are Screw Piles?

Screw piles, also known as screw piers or steel screw piles, are deep foundation solutions used to support structures. These piles are made from steel and are screwed into the ground, providing stable and durable support for buildings and other structures. They are a popular alternative to traditional concrete piling methods.


Key Features of Screw Piles

Screw piles are made from high-strength steel and can feature a single, helical blade or twin-blade design that allows for easy installation. Screw pile foundations are ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. They suit various soil types and cause minimal ground disturbance during installation. Additionally, they are recyclable and environmentally friendly, making them a sustainable choice for construction projects.

Benefits of Screw Piles

Screw piles offer numerous benefits for construction projects. They are cost-effective, with lower installation costs compared to traditional methods. The installation process is time-efficient, as there is no curing time required. Screw piles are versatile and suitable for various soil conditions and project types. They are environmentally friendly, with a reduced carbon footprint and recyclable materials. Furthermore, they provide immediate load-bearing capacity, meaning further construction can begin immediately after installation.

Types of Screw Piles

There are several types of screw piles to suit different applications. Residential screw piles are made with smaller diameter shafts, typically ranging from 76 to 114mm and are ideal for homes and light structures. Commercial screw piles are designed using larger, stronger pipe and are used for larger buildings and commercial projects. Regardless of the application, all screw piles are custom designed to accommodate the unique loads of the structure and soil conditions of the project, ensuring that all specific needs are met.


Screw Pile Foundation

Screw pile foundations are screwed into the ground, ensuring a secure and reliable foundation. Screw pile foundations are ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial projects due to their quick installation, minimal ground disturbance, and immediate load-bearing capabilities. 

Screw Pile Footings

Screw pile footings are a critical component in the construction of buildings and other structures. These footings consist of steel screw piles that are driven deep into the ground, providing a stable and strong base. Unlike traditional concrete footings, screw pile footings can be installed quickly and do not require extensive excavation. This makes them an efficient choice for projects with tight schedules or challenging site conditions.
