Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can screw piles be installed in the rain?

    Yes, screw piles can usually be installed in light to moderate rain. Since there’s no need for concrete pouring or curing, wet weather doesn’t delay the process as much as traditional footings. However, if conditions become too muddy or waterlogged, work may need to pause for safety and access reasons. Screw piling is often chosen for projects where weather variability is a concern, helping keep the timeline on track even during wet periods.

  • What equipment is used for screw piling?

    Screw piling uses compact yet powerful machinery, typically hydraulic drive heads mounted to excavators, skid steers or mini loaders. These machines rotate the steel screw piles into the ground with consistent torque and alignment. Because the equipment is smaller than traditional piling rigs, it suits tight-access areas or residential blocks. The setup is fast and clean, reducing the need for large-scale excavation or heavy, disruptive machinery commonly used in other foundation systems.

  • Can you build directly on screw piles?

    Yes, you can build directly on screw piles as soon as they’re installed. Unlike concrete, screw piles don’t need time to cure, which means construction can begin immediately after they’re driven to the correct depth and torque. Each pile is capped or bracketed to support a slab, subfloor or structural beam. Engineers confirm alignment and capacity, making screw piles an efficient option for fast-tracked building projects.

  • Can underpinning fail?

    Underpinning can fail if not designed or executed properly. Common reasons include incorrect load calculations, poor soil assessment or shortcuts during installation. Using unqualified contractors increases the risk of ineffective support or further damage. However, when performed by professionals and backed by engineering, underpinning is a long-term solution that restores structural stability. Ongoing movement after underpinning is rare but may occur if new ground conditions arise or adjacent work disturbs the site.
