Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
about screw piles
How much does a screw pile cost?
This is a difficult question to answer because it depends on several factors, such as the type of structure being supported and the density of the soil.
The best way to know how much your screw pile foundation will cost is to talk to your local Postech dealer and tell them about your project. They can give you a free and accurate quote that includes installation. They can also schedule the installation during the call.
Is screw piles better than concrete?
- 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.
- Effortless Choice: For a speedy, green, and reliable foundation, screw piles are the clear winner.
Can screw piles be installed under an existing structure?
Yes. There are different ways this can be done, depending on the structure and how high it is off the ground. Your Postech installer will recommend the best pile installation method for your structure.
We recommend a minimum spacing of 12 to 18 inches to install a pile under an existing structure.
Can we install helical piles in rock?
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.
