Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between screw piles and concrete piers?
Screw piles are steel shafts with helical blades that are twisted into the ground using hydraulic equipment, offering immediate load-bearing capacity. Concrete piers, by contrast, require excavation and time for curing before loads can be applied. Screw piling is quicker, cleaner and ideal for poor soil or limited access, while concrete piers suit stable ground with room to dig. Engineers usually recommend screw piles when speed, site access and soil conditions present challenges.
Is screw piling more expensive than traditional footings?
Screw piling may cost more upfront compared to basic concrete footings, but it often saves money overall. It eliminates curing time, reduces excavation, and minimises weather delays or site disruption. Especially in poor soil or tight-access areas, screw piling can be more efficient and reduce the risk of long-term issues. When factoring in project speed and reliability, it can be a cost-effective choice for many residential and commercial builds.
How deep do screw piles need to go?
The depth of screw piles depends on soil type, structure weight and site conditions. Most residential applications require piles between 3 to 10 metres deep, reaching a stable load-bearing layer beneath the surface. In soft or wet ground, deeper installation may be necessary to ensure adequate support. Engineers assess each site before installation to determine the correct depth and number of piles required for long-term structural stability.
Does underpinning increase property value?
Underpinning can improve a property's value by addressing and resolving structural issues like foundation movement or cracking. Once the building is stable, it becomes safer and more appealing to potential buyers. Proper underpinning, backed by engineering certification, demonstrates that the problem has been professionally handled. This assurance often enhances buyer confidence, helps during property resale, and may also improve the property's eligibility for finance or insurance.
