Uses Of Steel Screw Piles

Image
Steel Screw Piles which is also called helical piles; helical anchors help in securing the new foundations on the ground. They may even be used for strengthening and stabilising the current foundations.  A foundation basically spreads evenly the weight of the structure which sits onto it. Many a times the foundation also needs some kind of support. This is mainly because of the poor conditions of the soil and issues with moisture that cause un-even settlement, bowing as well as cracking.    These piles help in giving the foundation an additional stability as well as strength. They are mainly attracted to foundation at one end and then anchored on the ground on other. The depth which they’re driven into ground depends typically on extent of load.  Where is Steel Screw Piles Installed? You must be thinking where exactly are these Steel Screw Piles installed . The Steel Screw Piles are installed usually around the foundation of the house. First, the brackets are

Understanding Screw Pile Installation

Screw Pile Installation is being done for a very long time now. Since humans started building structures, he has been using them for support. It is required during the initial stages of construction, and also when later on the structure requires improvement or repairs. The modern day tools add versatile as well as cost efficient tool to the tool kit of the engineers.  Understanding screw piles The screw piles which are also called helical steel piles are said to be the latest development of the technology pioneered by the Irish engineer Sr. Alexander Mitchell to be used in the lighthouses. The latest versions of the engineer’s idea consist of the strong but light galvanised steel shafts. On this the low pitch steel plates are welded so that the resultant device looks same like the classic screw of Archimedes. On site, the piles can be screwed easily in the ground with the help of simple hand held or machine mounted drilling tools and equipment. The Screw P
