Speed & ease of installation
Multiturn screw piles are installed quickly, cleanly, and with minimal disruption to your site.
Unlike traditional concrete foundations, screw piles require no excavation, no curing time, and no heavy concrete machinery. Our installation process is fast, precise, and suitable for even the most challenging environments.
suited to a wide variety of environments
- Cyclone prone areas
- Use between in-ground existing services in tight building sites
- Sensitive tree root systems
- Contaminated soil
- Water charged ground
- Soft soil locations (coastal locations and former swamp areas)
- Filled public spaces (ovals and playing fields)
- Remote locations & temporary buildings
how it works
Screw piles are mechanically rotated into the ground using a hydraulic drive head. As the pile advances, the helical flights draw it downward with minimal soil disturbance. Once at the required depth, it's ready to load immediately.
why it's faster?
- No waiting for concrete to cure - structures can be built on the same day
- No excavation or spoil removal required
- Works in tight spaces where traditional machinery can't access
- Suitable for remote or difficult-to-reach locations
- Minimal impact on surrounding ground, services, and root systems
installation FAQs
How long does installation take?Most screw piles can be installed in minutes per pile. A typical residential project can be completed in a single day, compared to several days for traditional concrete footings.
Do I need council approval for screw pile installation?Requirements vary by location and project type. We recommend checking with your local council, but in many cases screw piles fall within standard building regulations. Our team can advise based on your specific project.
Can screw piles be removed or relocated?Yes — one of the key advantages of screw piles is that they can be extracted and reused. This makes them ideal for temporary structures, hire buildings, and projects where future site changes are anticipated.
Will installation damage my existing landscaping or services?Screw pile installation causes minimal ground disturbance. There is no excavation and no spoil to remove, so lawns, gardens, and nearby services are left largely undisturbed.
What soil types are screw piles suitable for?Screw piles perform well in a wide range of conditions including soft soils, waterlogged ground, coastal and swamp areas, contaminated soil, and sites with sensitive tree root systems.
Are screw piles suitable for permanent structures?Absolutely. Screw piles are engineered to meet the load requirements of permanent residential, commercial, and industrial structures. Each installation is designed to suit the specific soil conditions and structural loads of your project.
