At Postech Screw Piles it’s simple: we screw steel piles into the ground so your foundation is rock-solid. No waiting around for concrete to cure—once the piles are in, you can start building right away.

Here’s how it goes, nice and straightforward:

  • We take a quick look at the site to see what’s hiding under the lawn.
  • We show up with compact gear—no big machines ripping up your yard.
  • We screw the piles into the exact spots shown on the plans, following local standards.
  • We tighten them to the required torque to guarantee load-bearing capacity.

The result: a reliable foundation, quick to install, and perfect for our freeze-thaw climate.

  • Fast & Ready: Screw piles win the race against time, installing quickly without the wait for curing, unlike concrete’s slow pace.
  • Eco & Budget-Friendly: They’re lighter on the planet and your wallet, offering a recyclable, less labor-intensive choice. Concrete? Not so much.
  • Versatile & Tough: Adaptable to various soils and unfazed by the weather, screw piles stand strong. Concrete can be picky and prone to cracking.

Yes. Postech has piles and adapted base mount systems to create a solid foundation in bedrock.

Also, What happens when you hit a rock?

There are a few things your Postech installer can do if the pile happens to hit a rock:

In the overwhelming majority of cases, the installer can simply deviate around the rock to allow the screw pile to continue its descent.

If the rock is too large, and if construction parameters allow, the installer will install the pile in another spot.

If the screw pile must be installed in a very precise spot, excavation may be necessary, but these cases are rare.
