Although piling is one of the most cost-effective foundational options on the market, many customers tend to be shocked to discover that there are so many different types available. After all, a pile can be dictated by its material, shape and installation method. Here at Rhino Piling, we are the experts on your side which is why we have decided to go over the benefits of investing in screw, or helical, piles. Read on to find out more information…
How long do screw piles take to install?
Since they are pre-made and easy to install, screw piling is the fastest foundational option on the market. After all, there is no requirement for the contractors to dig out the soil in order to install the pile and unlike popular methods, such as concrete end-bearing piles, helical piles do not have to set in order to provide the structure and support that a property requires.
When can screw piles be installed?
Concrete is a temperature sensitive material which means that concrete piles cannot be installed during the winter months, limiting consumers to the summer season when labour is often more expensive due to the hot temperatures. On the other hand, screw piles can be installed at any time of the year which reduces costs and allows structures to be built faster.
How much vibration do screw piles create during installation?
Soil is heavily influence by a variety of different mediums like moisture, pressure and heat. In fact, the vibrations created during the installation of piling foundations must also be taken into consideration because they can disrupt soil and delay a piling project. Luckily, screw piles have less than 1mm of vibration, which may rise depending on the obstacles in the ground, and this means that they can be safely installed near existing foundations.
Here at Rhino Piling, we place a lot of emphasis on reliability and stability during each and every piling project that we carry out. Helical piles are placed into the ground at strategic points along a structure and rely on tension and compression in order to reinforce the weight of a structure effectively.
