Screw Piles technique for Two New Builds

Structural Repairs revolutionises foundation solutions with both screw piles and helical piles. This innovative approach triumphs in challenging sand and peat terrain, as demonstrated by two successful new builds. Discover how pile foundations outperform traditional methods, offering rapid installation, cost-effectiveness, and minimal environmental impact.

The Challenge

The company encountered a formidable task when constructing two new build properties on a site with exceptionally challenging ground conditions. The terrain, composed of a problematic mixture of sand and peat, presented significant risks for traditional foundation methods. This unstable soil composition threatened long-term structural integrity, posed environmental concerns, and demanded a solution that could be both cost-effective and swiftly implemented. The challenge was to find an innovative foundation technique using screw piling that could provide robust support and durability in this difficult terrain. The project required a versatile solution like helical pile foundations, capable of addressing the unique soil conditions while also meeting project timelines and budget constraints. The complexity of the site called for an advanced approach beyond conventional methods, potentially incorporating helical screw technology to ensure stability in the problematic soil. Screwpile systems were considered for their ability to penetrate deep into the varied soil layers without causing excessive disturbance.

The Solution:

The team expertly addressed the challenging ground conditions by implementing a hybrid approach combining screw pile and helical pile technologies. They designed a custom screw pile foundation system that utilised both screwpiles and helical screw piles to maximise stability in the varied soil conditions. This innovative solution incorporated helix pilings strategically placed to anchor into the more stable layers beneath the problematic sand and peat mixture. By integrating these advanced screw piles foundation techniques, they created a robust and adaptable foundation system capable of withstanding the unique challenges posed by the site's geology.

The Process:

The challenging foundation project was tackled with precision and expertise:

1. Site Assessment: Conducted a thorough analysis of the sand and peat soil conditions.

2. Solution Design: Engineered a custom screw pile foundation and helical pile plan tailored to the specific terrain.

3. Equipment Preparation: Mobilised specialised machinery for efficient screw pile and helical screw piles installation.

4. Installation: Rapidly drove the helix pilings into the ground, ensuring minimal site disruption.

5. Testing and Verification: Performed rigorous load tests to confirm the stability and load-bearing capacity of the installed screw pile footings and helical pilings.

6. Construction Completion: Proceeded with the new builds, utilising the secure foundation provided by the screwpiles system.

7. Final Inspection: Conducted a comprehensive review to ensure all structural integrity benchmarks were met. This methodical approach showcased the company's commitment to quality and innovation in screw piles foundation techniques, resulting in a successful foundation solution for the challenging ground conditions.

The Result:

The implementation of screw pile and helical pile technology for the two new build properties was a resounding success. The challenging sand and peat terrain, once a significant obstacle, now supports stable, durable structures thanks to the innovative screw pile foundations solution. The project showcased multiple benefits: rapid installation reduced construction time, cost-effectiveness surpassed traditional methods, and minimal environmental impact aligned with modern construction standards. This case study not only resolved the immediate foundation challenges but also demonstrated Structural Repairs' expertise in tackling complex ground conditions with screwpiles and helical screw piles, solidifying their position as industry leaders in advanced foundation solutions.
