About Screw Piles
Precision. Quality. Durability. Screw Piles are the primary choice for construction projects that require a long-lasting rock-solid foundation.
What Are Screw Piles?
Screw piles are engineered steel foundations used to support structures in a wide variety of soil conditions. They consist of a central steel shaft with one or more helical plates (like screws) welded to it. These plates allow the pile to be “screwed” into the ground, providing strong load-bearing capacity without the need for traditional concrete footings.
Screw Piles are also known as:
-
Helical piles
-
Helical anchors
-
Screw anchors
- Foundation Piles
- Pile Foundations
How Do Screw Piles Work?
1. Installation: Screw piles are installed by rotating them into the ground using hydraulic machinery. The helical plates pull the pile downward and secure it in place.
2. Load Transfer: The load from the structure is transferred from the shaft to the surrounding soil via the helical plates, creating a stable foundation.
3.Immediate Use: Unlike concrete footings, screw piles can often be loaded immediately after installation, speeding up construction timelines.

Applications of Screw Piles
Screw piles are versatile and can support a variety of structures, including:
-
Residential buildings, decks, and garages
-
Commercial and industrial buildings
-
Bridges, boardwalks, and piers
-
Solar panel arrays and telecom towers
-
Temporary or modular structures
Advantages of Screw Piles
-
Fast Installation: Can be installed in a fraction of the time it takes to pour concrete.
-
Minimal Site Disruption: No need for excavation or curing; great for sensitive sites.
-
Climate Resilient: Engineered to withstand freeze–thaw cycles and shifting soil conditions.
-
Adjustable: Heights can be fine-tuned during building and piles can be easily removed if no longer needed.
-
Environmentally Friendly: Less soil disturbance and no concrete waste.
-
Cost-Effective: Reduces labor and material costs compared to traditional foundations.
Why Choose Screw Piles for Your Project?
Screw piles are durable, reliable, and adaptable, making them a preferred choice for both residential and commercial construction projects. Their speed of installation, reduced environmental impact, and long-term stability make them an excellent foundation solution for modern building needs.
