We take accurate readings for each pier, not just random tested areas on the site. We measure the PSI of each pile as it is installed. This is recorded & dispatched to the engineer for immediate PS3 certification. This is one of the advantages of using Screw Pile Solutions, as we have struck sites where, within metres, a differential reading is recorded.

As this is an engineered solution, engineers or building inspectors aren't required on site.

We can test your site prior to commencing work to establish the ground conditions and an approximate pile depth.]]> https://www.screwpilesolutions.co.nz/media/website_posts/39/DrivingUnit.jpg none 2020-07-08 06:22:38 38 13
In rare cases, where rocks or larger tree roots are present, it may affect the depth or pile locations. If this occurs, we will discuss with the engineer the options for moving forward.]]> https://www.screwpilesolutions.co.nz/media/website_posts/38/No-Depth-restriction-extensions-BW.jpg none 2020-07-08 06:21:33 37 13
In a relative cost analysis, one of the greatest factors is the impact of time & manpower, including concrete scheduling, the cost of the concrete itself, pumps, and any associated downtime.

To give you an idea, the piles for a typical house can be installed in one day. This is great for managing projects and meeting tight deadlines.]]> https://www.screwpilesolutions.co.nz/media/website_posts/37/drill.jpg none 2020-07-08 06:20:52 36 13
Due to the minimal disturbance of the pile install, this makes screw piles great for sensitive environments such as native vegetation settings, estuaries, and steep embankments.

Work can be carried out in any conditions providing the access for the machinery is safe. We do not require slurry clean out, submersible pumps, or extra disposal costs due to adverse weather conditions.]]> https://www.screwpilesolutions.co.nz/media/website_posts/36/Minimal-Excavation-Fletchers.jpg none 2020-07-08 06:16:22 35 13 https://www.screwpilesolutions.co.nz/media/website_posts/35/Minimal-concrete.jpg none 2020-07-08 05:59:57 34 13
The helix of the pile is designed with a true through-cut on a single flight, with a 350 Grade Plate. The pipe used is 350 Grade with a Yield Stress of 570Mpa / tensile strength of 600Mpa. The piles can also be galvanised.

Our ground anchors are a unique four fin with a fully floating fin assembly which engages and mobilises a mass of soil around the top of the ground anchor pile, providing significant lateral support.

With our piles, we can also carry out horizontal drilling to achieve resistance, e.g. with retaining wall strengthening situations.]]> https://www.screwpilesolutions.co.nz/media/website_posts/34/Design_Standard-pile-and-anchor.png none 2020-07-08 05:50:02
