FAQ: Why are Postech Screw Piles Better Than Concrete?
Postech Screw Piles are a great alternative for a solid foundation, no matter what you’re building or your soil conditions.

Let’s get into why our piles are far superior to an outdated concrete foundation.
Thermal pile
Helical pile have proven to withstand frost when compared to a standard concrete foundation. Where a concrete foundation can crack and shift, Postech are insulated with a thermal protectant. This protect against the rough Canadian winters.
Not only does the screw pile technology far outweigh sonotubes, it also is a great option for areas with high-water tables. In fact, piles are undisturbed by water and can be installed even in the wettest conditions.
Greener than concrete
The lack of environmental impact means Postech Screw Piles are a greener choice over a standard foundation. As there is minimal soil disturbance, helical piles are a great choice in conversation areas and in place of cribbing for docks.
Since Screw Piles can be uninstalled without disturbing wildlife or fish habitats, it’s a greener option than digging, pouring, and mixing concrete.
More durable than concrete
Plus, with the galvanization of our piles, they will last longer and better than wood cribs.
