History of Screw Piles
Screw pile foundations were introduced as a practical foundation system by alexander mitchell (1780–1868), an irish builder and brick manufacturer. cast iron screw piles were used extensively throughout the uk. their uses included supporting lighthouse foundation frames as well as pleasure piers across the uk. over 25 such piers were constructed during the 19th century, including Brighton and Bournemouth.
During the 1970s, chance anchors developed smaller diameter helical screw pile that could be installed with modern hydraulic equipment. most screw piles today are based on solid bar or tubular shafts of up to 200mm in diameter. with double or triple helices often galvanized, they offer greater protection in aggressive soils.
Screw pile foundations are used extensively across a range of industries, including road, rail and telecommunications. the benefit of using helical screw foundations is that they take less time to install than a standard concrete foundation. less machinery is required, and this helps to keep costs low. you can also expect a lower carbon footprint, and there will be no need to remove any soil from the site. screw pile foundations can be laid close to existing structures, and when they are no longer needed, can be removed as easily as they were installed.
