ScrewpileUK understand that foundations play an integral role to any building project, big or small. We provide screw piles solutions to simplify the construction process. We provide a quick and efficient response when providing design and installation for all screw piling systems.
Screw piles are becoming ever popular for use on new builds and for adding extensions to established buildings. Traditional foundations can be ineffective, especially where obstacles are incurred. The advantages of screw piles are that they can be installed with minimal noise, near-zero vibration and minimal muck away. Additionally, they can be used for restricted access locations and cause little, to no, disruption to neighbours. Once the piles are in place a concrete ring beam can be bonded to the top of the screw pile, providing the perfect foundation upon which the extension can be built.
Due to screw piles being quick and easy to install, they make excellent temporary foundations. They are perfect for use as:
A screw pile system is the perfect secure and versatile base for solar panels. The screw pile can resist both uplift and compression loads. They compliment the environmental credentials of solar panels.
Property subsidence, due to foundations being constructed on poor or unstable ground is not uncommon. Screwpiling UK can stabilise the subsistence and on occasions lift the building to it’s original level.
Our screw piling foundation system is ideal for underpinning foundations, particularly in situations where limited access makes it challenging to use larger excavation machinery. Utilising screw piling for underpinning proves to be a cost-effective and minimally invasive approach to address property subsidence. This method effectively prevents further movement caused by ground moisture loss, as well as the growth of trees or roots that gradually absorb significant volumes of water from the soil over time.
Screw piles have transformed the way foundation construction is approached. They provide improved efficiency, versatility, durability and environmental sustainability. Screw piles have become the ‘go-to’ for providing solid footings for new buildings.
A key advantage of using screw piles for new build foundations is the efficiency and speed of installation. Projects can be constructed with significant reductions to progamme and costs, compared to old traditional models. They are versatile in challenging environments and have enhanced durability and longevity. Working towards net zero construction methods, screw piles are eco-friendly and sustainable.
Screw piles often make the perfect foundation for projects located near trees. The piles can be used around the most obvious roots , helping to secure the building without dislodging the tree or causing major change to the root system. Screw piles should not prevent growth of future tree roots, neither will the roots damage the piles.
Screw piles are a good option for wind turbine construction. The quick, efficient installation allows the avoidance of excavation and construction of the turbine can commence as soon as the screw pile is complete. Screw piles are a more stable and easier to install than traditional concrete support systems.
