Screw Piles are used widely to support residential construction projects by increasing efficiency and lowering costs using economies of scale and increased installation speeds.
Screw piles are widely recognised as the fastest installation of all piling methods. Piles can essentially be installed and have concrete footings poured over the piles in the same day.
For all residential projects any small amount of deflection in the footing system can be damaging to the structural integrity of the building, this is undesirable and Screw Piles can be used to greatly reduce or eliminate any potential settlement.
Water front developments are becoming increasingly popular in the residential housing market. Screw piles can be used effectively to support the load of the structure at sufficiently deeper levels to eliminate any settlement adjacent to the waterway.
The added advantage of vibration free piling is applicable on commercial building sites where the site may be surrounded by sensitive and inflexible structures. In this case, a piling system which may cause vibration, may increase the risk of damage to adjacent buildings.
