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.
