What is a screw pile?
Where in the past (and sometimes still) wooden piles or a concrete slab was used, nowadays steel screw piles are increasingly used, also known as screw foundations. Screw foundations are made of aluminum or steel and are many times easy to get into the ground (low noise and vibration-free). Due to the existing screw thread, these screws are fixed in the ground in a rotating manner. The depth is also possible as desired because different screw elements can be connected to each other.
THERE ARE SEVERAL BENEFITS OF USING SCREW PILES, INCLUDING:
Easy installation: Screw piles can be installed quickly and easily, without the need for heavy equipment or excavation. This reduces the amount of disruption to the site and helps to minimize the overall cost of the project.
Versatility: Screw piles can be installed in a variety of soil conditions, including soft or unstable soils, and can be adjusted to accommodate changes in soil conditions over time.
Strong and stable: Screw piles are made of strong, durable materials, and are designed to resist lateral loads, making them suitable for use in high-wind or seismic areas.
Environmentally friendly: Screw piles are a low-impact foundation solution that do not require excavation or the removal of large amounts of soil, making them a more environmentally friendly option.
Cost-effective: Compared to other foundation systems, screw piles can be more cost-effective, particularly when used in areas with challenging soil conditions or limited access.
Adjustability: The length of the screw piles can be adjusted on-site to accommodate changes in soil conditions or to meet the specific requirements of the structure being supported.
Durable: Screw piles are designed to withstand the elements and are made of materials that are resistant to corrosion and wear, making them a long-lasting foundation solution.
