ProMart screw pile 1500 x 60 / 3 mm.

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

Installation begins by making an initial hole about 12 inches deep in the ground using a drill or a digging bar. The pile is then screwed into the ground using a screw pile torque 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 pipes and cabling. Screw piles are especially well suited for confined spaces, as their installation does not cause vibration or noise disturbance.

Screw piles perform best in clay and sandy soils. Frost insulation is not required when the helix plate is installed below the frost line. Installation spacing typically varies between 3 and 10 feet, depending on soil bearing capacity and load requirements. The exact load-bearing capacity of the piles requires a soil investigation. For structures requiring a permit, a structural designer determines the number of screw piles needed and their installation spacing. This foundation method offers a cost-effective and durable alternative for a wide range of construction needs, without heavy foundation work.
