Equipment for Screw Pile Installation



Pile elements can be driven in various ways.

• One is manually using levers, where the force depends on the lever's length. However, this method is limited by pile size and soil type, and is characterized by low productivity.

• The second method is using manual electric or hydraulic pile drivers, which are also limited by pile size and soil type, but productivity remains average.

• The third option is to use small-sized mobile pile drivers, which are limited by support size and soil type, have insufficient productivity, and require special transport for delivery to the site.

Excavator-Mounted Pile Drivers

Pile driving is accomplished using attachments on special equipment, such as pile drivers, hydraulic rotators, or hydraulic pile drivers. The main purpose of these devices is to drive screw piles to the required depth during foundation construction for various structures. Any hydraulic pile driver can be used as a pile driver if it is carefully selected based on the technical specifications of the project, the pile design, and the capabilities of the main machine. The advantages of a mounted hydraulic pile driver include its ability to be used with a variety of base equipment and significantly higher productivity compared to other pile driving methods.

Advantages of the technology

• High work speed. Thanks to the use of modern attachments, the installation process is several times faster than traditional foundation construction.

• Minimal soil impact. The pile driver technology does not require extensive excavation work or the removal of large volumes of soil.

• Cost-effectiveness. These piles require minimal material costs during installation, making them suitable for various types of structures.

• Reliable supports. The piles provide a reliable foundation, stable even in conditions of severe soil freezing.

• Versatility. Screw piles can be used on any type of soil, from sandy to dense clay. Screw pile foundation installation technology is a solution for fast and reliable construction. Proper screwing of screw supports and the use of appropriate equipment ensure high durability and stability of structures, creating reliable supports for any construction project.

Why choose manual screw piles?

  When installing screw piles in hard-to-reach areas, space is often limited, making the use of traditional heavy equipment impossible. Manual screw piles are ideal for this task, providing a secure foundation for buildings virtually anywhere. Screw piles are widely used in everything from private cottages to large commercial buildings. However, construction sites don't always allow for the use of large-scale equipment. For example, areas with limited vehicle access, densely wooded areas, or densely populated urban areas pose a significant obstacle to the installation of standard structures. The optimal solution is to use specialized tools — hand held screwpile driver . These devices allow for quick and efficient manual installation of screw piles, eliminating the need for heavy equipment. This ensures structural stability even in the most challenging situations. These devices are especially useful when work must be carried out in specific conditions: • Confined urban spaces ...

Service Life of Screw Piles

Screw piles play a vital role in modern construction, providing significant strength and adaptability to various climatic conditions. Although some manufacturers often claim service lives of 120 years or more, practical conditions and various factors can lead to deviations from these estimates. Main Factors Affecting the Service Life of Screw Piles 1. Effect of Material and Corrosion: The longevity of screw piles is primarily determined by the corrosion rate, which in turn depends on the quality of the steel and the corrosivity of the soil. The service life of screw piles is affected by both chemical and electrochemical corrosion, while the corrosion rate is influenced by pH, moisture, and soil type. 2. Physical Characteristics: The thickness of the pile blade and shaft is critical; even a slight increase in these dimensions can significantly extend the service life of the pile. Installation depth also affects service life, as deeper installation can slow chemical corrosion. 3. P...
