What is screw piling and how does it work?
Screw piling involves driving steel piles with helical blades deep into stable ground to support structures. The screw shape allows them to cut through soil with minimal disturbance, anchoring firmly into load-bearing strata. This method transfers building loads below the surface, making it ideal for sites with soft or shifting soil and reducing the need for excavation or concrete footings.
What is underpinning in construction?
Underpinning is a construction technique used to strengthen and stabilise the foundations of existing buildings. It’s typically required when original footings have shifted due to ground movement, poor soil conditions or structural changes. The process involves extending or deepening foundations to reach more stable ground, often using concrete or engineered piers to relevel and support the structure.
When do you need screw piling?
Screw piling is commonly used when soil conditions near the surface are unstable or weak. It’s ideal for areas with high water tables, reactive clay or sloping sites. You may need screw piling when building on challenging ground, supporting heavy loads or working with limited access, as it provides fast, engineered stability without extensive excavation.
When is underpinning necessary?
Underpinning becomes necessary when a building shows signs of foundation failure, such as cracking walls, uneven floors or sticking doors. It’s also needed if the building use changes (adding extra load), nearby excavation undermines stability or soil conditions shift over time. Early intervention prevents further damage and restores structural integrity.
