THE ADVANTAGES OF A
SCREW PILES FOUNDATION
You’re wondering whether a screw pile foundation is suitable for your project or whether you should opt for concrete ?
You’ve come to the right place. We’ll explain everything to you, in easy-to-understand terms.
WHAT IS A
SCREW PILES FOUNDATION?
A screw piles foundation is installed deep into the ground. Each pile is literally drilled into the ground like a large screw until it reaches the denser, more stable layers of soil. This allows the natural strength of the ground to be used to support the structure of your project.
Why are screw piles so popular?
Those who choose our screw piles appreciate their non-invasive installation (no excavation required), quick execution, and excellent value for money. We are so confident in the quality of our products and services that we offer a free 25-year warranty on the product and a 7-year warranty on the installation.
The difference between:
SCREW PILES, CONCRETE,
AND HARDWARE STORE PILES
Many compare professional screw piles to sonotubes or hardware store piles, but they are not in the same league.
Pro Post Foundations screw piles are engineered products made of galvanized steel and designed to withstand ground movement and light to heavy loads, while being protected against corrosion thanks to their galvanization.
Only cast concrete rivals the strength of Pro Post screw piles.

Always further, always stronger
Our teams are constantly refining their methods and developing new techniques to install screw pile foundations where it would normally be impossible.
The Superior Stability of a Screw Pile Foundation
The foundation is the primary key for the planning of a construction project. For decades, builders have used concrete – they took dirt, curing and excavation as evils to be embraced. But there is a much more clever, rapid, and robust substitute to that. At Pro Post Foundations, we specialise in high-quality screw piles that lend instant durability to everything from decks and buildings to commercial structures. Read More
What is a Helical Screw Pile?
A helical screw pile is a massive galvanised steel shaft with a helical plate (the screw) at its base. Foundation screw piles are not a conventional concrete slab that operates near the surface but rather is driven deep into the soil employing specially designed hydraulic work. The pile is placed until it reaches solid, stable soil under the frost line. This anchors your structure onto the natural strength of the earth to prevent seasonal shifting and frost heaving that usually rend down concrete.
The Benefits of Screw Pile Installation
Deciding to use screw piles instead of concrete has several advantages, time saving and money saving included.
- Speed: Most residential projects are completed within a few hours.
- No Waiting: Unlike concrete, which needs days to cure, screw piers are prepared to support loads right when installed. Begin mounting right away.
- No Mess: No excavation needed. Our patented equipment installs the piles without ripping up your lawn and without leaving dirt piled behind.
