5 Reasons to Consider Screw Piles for Your Next Project

1. Screw piles can be installed rapidly

A construction project needs to move along to schedule. If it doesn’t, there’s the risk that the project will be held up, which may chew up more resources than the builder intended and cause frustration for clients who are having their foundations laid. Fortunately, screw piles can be installed promptly and efficiently, keeping projects ticking along and on time, and bringing your vision to life in a desirable time frame.

So, what makes screw piles so rapid? There are a number of reasons why screw piling Central Coast and screw piling Sydney are able to achieve results quicker than other types of foundations. Firstly, they are less dependent on concrete to set. The machines that install them are able to manoeuvre into smaller spaces, which might make it possible for less or no time-consuming demolition to be undertaken, and on shorter notice.

Minimal if any ground preparation is required, and the machinery is capable of placing the pile quickly, and in a wide range of conditions, including wet conditions. Depending on the particular job at hand, the pile will often have immediate load-carrying capability. So, efficiency is a clear reason to select screw piling Newcastle for your next project.

2. Reduced levels of site disturbance

A messy or overly busy site can impact the morale and efficiency of a worksite. The more people and equipment moving about, the greater room for error and the greater the sense of chaos. Screw piling Wollongong contractors are able to operate in small teams, sometimes only the driver and a spotter. But this isn’t the only, or even the main sense in which screw piling Newcastle reduces site disturbance.

Being quick to install, screw piles naturally have a shorter window of disturbance compared to some other more time-consuming methods of installation. Even within this shorter window of disturbance, the disturbance caused can be minimal compared to other foundation-setting methods. Just think about it – rather than being driven or drilled, screw piles screw into the ground. You would expect that to be less noisy!

Screw piling installation causes relatively low noise and vibration, keeping the neighbours on the side. The low levels of ground preparation that are necessary for the advance of screw pile installation, and afterward, also keep the disturbance levels to a minimum. All in all, screw piling Sydney is an effective method for those seeking to establish foundations with minimal disturbance.

3. Ability to undertake thorough site investigations

Quality screw piling contractors such as Piling Experts are committed to undertaking a thorough site investigation prior to designing foundations. This allows them to assess the soil type, the landscape, and any potential hazards, to decide on the best approach to screw piling for your particular property and project. This can help the contractor to provide you with a thorough quote and can be a key step in the financing process for many clients.

However, the testing doesn’t stop there – it also occurs after the piles have been installed. This may include dynamic load testing, static load testing, and pile integrity testing of bored piles. These measures can allow your screw piling Newcastle or screw piling Wollongong contractor to assess whether the piles are performing as they should in situ, and give you the confidence to continue with construction.

4. Screw piles are versatile

The amazing versatility of screw piles makes many builders appreciate the value of this method of foundation setting. As a builder, it means that whatever your project, you can typically rely on one established contractor to carry out the job, whatever is encountered. Even better if this contractor can also provide other methods of establishing a foundation if necessary – such as bored piles and underpinning.

Regardless of the ground type, the available space in which the piling rigs can operate, the heritage nature of the buildings being worked on or near, and the weather you encounter, screw piling experts are likely to be able to offer their service and establish your project’s foundation.

5. Screw piles are affordable

One of the biggest benefits of screw piles is that they are affordable and won’t break the budget – without making any compromises on quality. Many value them because of this affordability, which can free up money in other areas of the budget or result in fewer expenses overall.
