Widely used in residential and commercial construction, screw piles offer a cost-effective alternative to driven structures, the installation of which requires specialized drilling equipment.
These
products are characterized by quick installation and an affordable price
compared to most other types of foundation piles. They are used in constructing
foundations for outbuildings, swimming pools, concrete pavements, fences,
commercial buildings, generator station platforms, retaining walls, restoring old
foundations, and reinforcing foundations for new building additions.
Installing
screw piles requires compact, mobile equipment, making them particularly
convenient in confined construction sites. These piles can withstand loads of
up to 19 tons and are installed using specialized fasteners used to restore and
strengthen damaged or settled foundations.
Screw piles are often referred to as helical anchors or supports. They resemble a spiral or threaded structure wrapped around a central rod. The shape of the piles can span the entire length of the element or be located only at the top. The choice of material, size, thickness, configuration, and other characteristics depends on the specific construction project.
Piles are
typically driven or screwed into the ground using specialized equipment, such
as a pile driver. The installation principle is similar to driving a screw into
a wall: the pile is rotated and gradually driven deeper into the soil.
Installation is accomplished using special attachments or high-torque devices
operating at low speeds.
