Why is Screw Piling Important?

Immediate Use: With no concrete to set, screw piling supports the load immediately. Also, if your project is already behind schedule, you’ll save a couple of days when you opt for helical piling. Some types of foundation must allow the concrete to set for days. However, screw piling allows immediate load-bearing. Time is money so the ability to start work as soon as the piles have been verified saves on the project budget.

Rapid Installation: When compared to digging out foundations, screw piling is much quicker and there is less damage to the building area, which promotes smooth operation.

Zero Excavations: Once the entry points have been determined and clearly marked, the screw piling technician sets up the machine and the piles are screwed into position, which does not require any earth removal. This also means there is no negative impact on the immediate environment, making for a very eco-friendly foundation solution that is very reasonably priced.

Install with Minimum Space: If some of the load-bearing locations are in an enclosed space, screw piling offers the ideal solution. As long as there is enough room for one person to stand, the piling can be installed. With this method, there’s no risk of damage to the area as the technician works to ensure that all piles get a professional installation.

Load Capacity Verification: Once the piles are all in, the technician uses a device to ascertain the load-bearing capabilities. This gives you confidence that your foundations are up to the job. This avoids any disaster that might arise from the incorrectly positioned piling. With load testing over and above standard, you can be sure you have a solid base from which to build.

Needless to say that a poor foundation will impact your construction project and potentially have large financial impacts in the future. Please contact us to find out more.
