Our screw piles
We offer screw piles that provide unparalleled strength and stability for your projects. Whether you’re working on residential or commercial structures, our screw piles provide a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional concrete foundations.
Why choose screw piles for fast, reliable foundations
Helical piles also known as screw piles, provide a fast, low-disruption foundation solution for residential and commercial projects. Unlike traditional concrete foundations, helical screw piles can be installed quickly with minimal excavation, making them ideal for restricted access sites, extensions, and time-sensitive builds. Their engineered design delivers immediate load-bearing capacity, helping projects move forward faster while ensuring long-term structural stability.
Strengthen your upcoming project with Belowground screw piles
Stronger, faster, and more versatile than conventional foundations, screw piles offer a solution that’s as simple to install as it is reliable. Our screw piles at Belowground are designed for both light and heavy structures, ensuring that your foundation is built to last.

What are screw piles?
Helical piles, often known as screw piles, are deep foundation solutions that are screwed into the ground, providing an incredibly stable base. Made from high-quality steel, they’re designed to carry heavy loads and resist the forces that affect most foundations, such as settlement and movement.
Why choose screw piles over concrete foundations for light structures?
For lightweight structures, screw piles offer clear advantages over traditional concrete foundations. Their ability to provide a solid foundation without the need for heavy machinery makes them perfect for small to medium projects.
The key benefits include:
- Quick Installation: No need for long curing times, meaning your project moves forward faster.
- Minimal Site Disruption: Unlike concrete foundations, screw piles require less excavation and cause less disturbance to the surrounding area.
- No Heavy Machinery Required: Ideal for sites with limited access or those requiring minimal environmental impact.
- Cost-Effective: Reduced installation time and lower material costs make screw piles a more affordable option.
- Durability: Made from high-quality steel, screw piles are designed to withstand challenging soil conditions and provide long-lasting support.
Enhancing stability for larger structures: Combining screw piles and concrete
For larger, more complex projects, combining screw piles with concrete foundations provides the best of both worlds. The screw piles offer initial stability, while the concrete helps distribute the load across the foundation. This combination is ideal for buildings requiring high stability and load-bearing capabilities, such as commercial and industrial projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can screw piles be installed in any weather conditions?
Yes, screw piles can be installed in a wide range of weather conditions. Unlike traditional concrete foundations that require specific temperatures for curing, screw piles can be installed in both cold and hot weather. This makes them a reliable choice for year-round construction.
Are screw piles environmentally friendly?
Screw piles are an environmentally friendly foundation solution. Their installation requires minimal excavation and disruption of the surrounding environment, which reduces soil erosion and site damage. Additionally, because they don’t require concrete, they help reduce the carbon footprint associated with foundation construction.
Can screw piles be removed or re-used if necessary?
Yes, one of the key advantages of screw piles is their reusability. Unlike traditional foundations, screw piles can be easily removed or relocated if needed, without causing significant damage to the surrounding soil. This makes them a flexible and sustainable choice for projects that may require future changes or relocations.
What is the lifespan of a screw pile foundation?
Screw piles are designed for long-term durability and can last for decade. Made from corrosion-resistant materials, they are highly resistant to wear and tear from environmental factors like moisture and shifting soil. Proper maintenance can further extend the lifespan of screw pile foundations.
How do screw piles compare to traditional foundations in terms of load-bearing capacity?
Screw piles are highly effective at supporting both light and heavy structures. Their load-bearing capacity is comparable to, if not greater than, traditional foundations. The ability to screw them deep into the ground ensures they can carry substantial loads, making them suitable for a wide range of building types, from residential to commercial projects.
