The Advantages of Screw Piles on Irregular Terrain

If the cabin is to be built in the mountains or on other irregular terrain, screw pilings are an excellent choice. The pilings can be cut to different heights so that the tops of them are even. As long as the screw piles’ blade portion is installed below the frost line in good bearing soil, the piling will hold. If necessary, extensions can be attached to the screw piling, allowing some piles to be well above ground level or down deep to good bearing soil. For finer adjustment of the top height, an adjustable screw top can be installed, providing the capability of exact height adjustment.

Minimizing Environmental Disruption

In addition to the ease of installation, using Postech screw piles for cabin foundations won’t disrupt the picturesque location of your cabin or cottage, unlike other types of pilings or concrete foundations. Bringing heavy equipment onto a construction site and excavating for foundations disrupts a large area. After backfilling, it can take years for the plant growth to return to the pre-construction state.

Other types of pilings are no better. Both concrete pilings and driven steel pilings require heavy equipment for installation, whereas Postech screw piles can be installed by our experts with our special attachment. This saves on damage to your property, especially in cases where pristine environments need to be preserved as much as possible.
