Screw Piles

Screw piles are a type of deep foundation that is used when building on soft or unstable ground. They are also known as helical piles. The screw pile is an auger that is driven into the ground, and the helical plate is used to provide resistance against uplift and lateral forces. The piles are typically made of steel but can also be made of other materials, such as aluminium or fibreglass.

Rock Drilling using Screw Piles

The screw pile is screwed into the ground using an enormous rock drilling machine. The screw piles are then connected to the building's foundation using a bracket or a plate. This type of foundation is very strong and can support a variety of different loads. The screw pile can be used in a variety of soil types, including sand, clay, and even rock. 

Applications of Screw Piles

Screw piles are used today for a variety of applications, including piers, docks, bridges, and buildings. They are also used to support power lines and transmission towers. Screw piles are one of the most popular and versatile foundation options for construction.

Though they are most commonly used in areas where the soil is too soft or unstable to support traditional foundation options, screw piles can also be used in a variety of other applications.

Benefits of Screw Piling Systems

One of the benefits of using screw piles is that they can be installed quickly and easily. There is no need to excavate or dig large holes, which can save a lot of time and money. Screw piles can also be installed in difficult or hard-to-reach areas.

Another benefit of screw piles is that they are very versatile. They can be used in a variety of different soil types and can be installed at different depths to accommodate different loads. Screw piles can also be used in conjunction with other foundation options, such as concrete pier foundations.

There are many advantages to using screw piles over traditional foundation types. Screw piles are easier and faster to install, and they can be installed in areas where it is not possible to dig a foundation. Screw piles are also less likely to settle or move over time, and they can be removed and reused if necessary.
