ABOUT SCREW PILES
How Screw Piles Work
Imagine using a power drill to advance a screw into a block of wood.
Now imagine using a hammer to drive a nail into that same block of wood.
The ‘thread’, or helix, on the screw pile allows it to be turned into the ground with impressive speed and accuracy, without the noise and vibrations associated with a pile driver. The addition of the helix also dramatically increases bearing capacity and pull-out resistance, making screw piles a good option for deep foundations such as decks, sunrooms and fences.
How Screw Piles are Different
Screw piles are the fastest, most flexible and environmentally friendly foundation options available. Installing a screw pile doesn’t require any pre-excavation and there is no need to dispose of tailings. Also, they eliminate the wait times associated with concrete curing, the noise of pile drivers and the need for cumbersome concrete trucks on site.
Safety of Screw Piles
Screw Piles are recognized as a safe and effective foundation, by the Deep Foundations Institute and in the Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual.
