Helical screw pile advice 

THE BENEFITS OF GOOD ADVICE

Why good advice makes helical piling easier—and better—from the start

Good advice can make all the difference. Whether it’s preventing delays, optimising delivery, or navigating compliance challenges, having experts on your side helps your project runs like clockwork.

What's special about helical screw piles?

THE NEED FOR ADVICE

The unique helix design is what sets helical screw piles apart. Each pile features helical ‘flights’ wrapped around a steel shaft, creating a powerful grip as it twists into the ground. 

Compared to bored piers, helical screw pile foundations excel in speed, precision, and cost-efficiency. They don’t need curing, reduce excavation, can bear loads right away.

But there are important factors to consider – like soil type, load requirements and site access. So advice from screw piling experts is recommended to make sure you get a seamless installation.

ADVICE IN ACTION

Good advice solves complex challenges

Engineering oversight

A builder couldn't start foundations due to an oversight. We assessed the issue, and provided assistance to help keep the project on budget.

Public boardwalk

Collapsed bored piers on a public boardwalk were causing critical delays. We provided expert advice and installed screw piles in record time.

Tight-access risk

A residential project faced challenging terrain, making bored piers difficult. We helped keep the project on track with helical piles.

HOW TO INSTALL HELICAL PILEs

Steps for a successful helical screw pier installation

Great foundations start with great planning. Follow these steps to get your screw pier installation right from day one.

  • Check your ground

    SITE ANALYSIS

    • Soil type

      Is it sandy or rocky—each needs a tailored approach.

    • Stability

      Geotechnical surveys assess load capacity and risk.

    • Tricky spots

      Wet, coastal or reactive? You'll need corrosion resistance.

  • Understand force

    LOAD VARIABLES

    • Building load 

      Know the building weight from live to dead loads.

    • Uplift forces

      Factor in upward wind forces, soil expansion and water.

    • Lateral forces

      Prepare for sideways pressure from wind, earthquake or soil.

  • Know the standards

    Compliance

    • AS2159

      Make sure you meet or goes beyond Australian standards.

    • Installation

      Choose installers with fully certified, quality piles. 

    • Certification

      Work with engineers to ensure the piles meet regulation. 

  • Learn about design

    PILE design

    • Helix size

      Choose carefully. Larger plates perform better for large loads.

    • Pitch & angle

      A shallower pitch anchors better in soft soils.

    • Modularity 

      Prepare to extend sections to reach stable soil layers.
