What are screwpiles?

They are a type of foundation that is installed by drilling them into the ground.

They consist of a steel shaft with helical flights that act like screws, providing a secure anchor for the foundation.

Here are some of the benefits:

  • Cost-effective: Screwpiles offer a cost-effective solution for subsidence because they require less excavation and material compared to traditional foundations or underpinning. As a result, they can be installed faster and with less disruption to your business operations.
  • Speed of installation: In addition, they are a quick and efficient alternative to traditional foundations or underpinning, often installed within a few days. By choosing screwpiles, you can reduce downtime and lost revenue, allowing you to get back to using your warehouse sooner.
  • Suitable for all ground conditions: They are also suitable for all types of ground conditions, including poor soil, soft ground, and areas with high water tables. This versatility makes them an excellent choice for any commercial warehouse.
  • Environmentally friendly: Another advantage is their smaller carbon footprint compared to traditional foundations or underpinning. They require less material and excavation, making them a more environmentally friendly option for your business.
  • Long-lasting: Lastly, screwpiles are durable and long-lasting, providing a secure foundation for your commercial warehouse. They are resistant to corrosion and can withstand extreme weather conditions, ensuring the safety of your building. Additionally, some manufacturers offer warranties in excess of 100 years.
