Benefits

Steel screw piling can offer the following benefits over traditional piling methods:-

Lower cost than driven or drilled piles – do not require to go as deep to reach the same capacity

Fast installation

No concrete-related curing delays

No hold-ups to following trades

Little or no dependence on weather

No curing time is required, work can continue immediately after installation.

Unaffected by high ground water which can cause bored pile holes to collapse.

Little to no spoil is generated; this is of significant benefit for contaminated 

sites.

Low environmental impact, minimal noise and vibration during installation.

Can be removed, reused and are made from 100% recyclable steel.

Ground conditions can be proven by monitoring the torque achieved during installation.

Screwpiles can be easily extended should ground conditions change or differ from that expected.

Corrosion rates can be accurately determined and included in the screwpiles design.

Ease and speed of installation

Suitability for low-headroom and other limited-access areas

Easy pile cutoffs

Minimal support equipment

Lower mobilization and demobilization costs

Applications

Steel screwpiles can be used in multiple applications including: -

Cyclonic anchors for modular or transportable buildings.

Concrete tilt up construction.

Solar panel foundations.

Tension anchors for temporary structures requiring guy wires.

Ground anchors for slope stability.

Communication towers and mono poles.

Lighting and signage foundations.

Compression piles for poor sites with reactive clay, peat or uncontrolled fill.

Boardwalks, decks or jetties in eco sensitive areas or with limited access.

Bridge abutments, piers and widening.

Underpinning and footing repair.

Pipelines above ground and creek or river crossings

Tension piles for basement uplift loads when below the water table.

To resist earthquake load in multi-story stair or lift wells.

Construction crane bases or heavy lifting support.
