ProMart screw pile 1200 x 60/3 mm.

Hot-dip galvanized screw piles are an easy and long-lasting foundation solution for projects such as fences, decks, sheds, and docks.

Installation begins by making a starter hole about 30 cm deep in the ground using a drill or a digging bar. The pile is then screwed into the ground using a screw pile installation tool or a digging bar. The pile can also be installed mechanically. It is important to take any underground structures into account, such as drainage systems and cabling. Screw piles are especially well suited for tight spaces, as their installation does not cause vibration or noise disturbance.

Screw piles perform best in clay and sandy soil. Frost insulation is not needed when the helical plate is installed below the frost line. The installation spacing usually varies between 1 and 3 meters, depending on the soil’s load-bearing capacity and the applied load. The exact load-bearing capacity of the piles requires a soil survey. For structures requiring a permit, a structural designer determines the number of screw piles and their installation spacing. This foundation method provides a cost-effective and durable alternative for a wide range of construction needs, without heavy foundation work.
