Hello everyone! We're considering screw piles for our foundation. What makes them so cost-effective compared to other foundation types? What equipment is actually needed?

Hello! Screw piles offer significant cost advantages over traditional foundations. The most efficient and reliable foundation can be achieved using screw or reinforced concrete piles, and compared to other foundation types, they're considered the most cost-effective. Here's why: construction requires no major excavation work, no reinforced concrete blocks, and no large labor force. The only necessary equipment is specialized pile installation equipment and a small amount of concrete. A foundation based on screw piles doesn't require excavation, which saves not only on human resources but also on use of large-scale equipment. For installation, screw piles use either a hydraulic pile driver or a mini excavator, while reinforced concrete piles require a mini pile driver. The efficiency is impressive - several dozen rods can be installed in a single day for a small house, and a large pile field can be erected in just a few days. Compare this to installing a strip foundation, which would require about a week even for a small structure, followed by another month for the concrete mixture to dry.
