What are screw piles & screw piling?

Screw piles & screw piling – a quick primer.

What is a screw piling? A screw piling is a steel pipe with one or several “Helix/s” attached to it. These piles are then twisted into the ground using a specialized high torque drive head on a machine to stabilize and install them into the ground. Screw Piles can come in various sizes depending on Engineering parameters and site requirements. There are many applications for screw piles from home decks, underpinning, foundation support or industrial uses. Depending on requirements screw piles can be installed in one length or several bolted together. At Abarent, we focus primarily on commercial and industrial applications of screw piling and screw piles. Read on for just a few examples of screw piles and their advantages.

What our customers say

Access to the site was a challenge. Material to be removed and replaced had to be loaded into wheelbarrows and pushed uphill and down. It was an arduous undertaking and the men on the job worked very hard. The work ethic and discipline of the crew was impressive. As well, we were very pleased with the workmanship and clean-up following completion of the project.

It is terrific to see that your company's motto of "Quality without Compromise" is more than just words... The job was completed ahead of schedule and the workers ensured that when they left, the yard looked just like it did when they arrive. Well, actually it looked better...

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for a job well done. After this past weekend's deluge, our basement was left completely dry.

Abarent provided a 3-page, itemized list of the specific work to be done at each stage of the project, including descriptions of optional issues (including additional costs) that might arise during the work. The company president did the initial walk-through for their estimate and later went through it, line by line. He pointed out potential problems and things we had to prepare for during the work (extra cracks, concrete dust, effects on neighbors, etc.)... Repairing a foundation is a very traumatic event for any householder because all of your house investment is (literally!) in the air. If you have to do it, call Abarent. They are professional - we cannot recommend them highly enough.
