What screw pile underpinning is and why it outperforms bored piers
This method uses steel helices to reach firm strata, creating stable foundations fast.
How helical anchors transfer loads into stable ground strata
Helical anchors are steel rods with helical plates that bite into competent layers.
The helix geometry converts torque into bearing capacity and pulls load into stable soil.
Onsite torque readings verify capacity and depth in real time, so performance is measured as work proceeds.
Faster, reliable and eco‑friendly compared to bored piers
Less spoil, less concrete, and shorter time on site.
Compared with bored piers there is no large spoil heap to remove. Installation uses minimal concrete and cuts disturbance.
That reduces mess, truck movements and overall neighbourhood impact.
Engineered for Victorian soils: heavy clays to sandy coastal sites
Australian‑made products are specified for heavy clays in Berwick, Pakenham and Cranbourne.
They also suit sandy coastal ground on the Mornington Peninsula and Mount Eliza when engineered to the profile.
Minimal disruption: clean installation, tight‑access friendly
The system installs with low vibration and small equipment.
It is suitable for tight access and raised floors, where adjustable bearer plates provide support while works proceed.
We always pair installation with engineering design and certification to ensure safe, permanent outcomes.
- Predictable behaviour: verified load paths and torque confirmation.
- Site‑friendly: clean set‑up, faster completion and less neighbourhood impact.
- Local engineering: piles tailored to soil profiles across the region.
Our screw piling process, installation quality and engineering compliance
From site assessment to handover, we control the job so you get predictable, certified results.
Site assessment, soil conditions and engineering design reports
We start with a detailed site assessment and soil review to manage risk. An engineer designs each screw specification and spacing for your foundation.
We coordinate design reports, dial‑before‑you‑dig, and permit requirements. This keeps the works compliant and reduces delays.
On‑site installation: torque monitoring, depth, and quality assurance
On installation day our team records torque, depth and alignment for every pile. We verify capacity against the design and adapt if subsurface conditions vary.
Our QA checks cover welds, galvanising and fixture quality. For larger works we provide weekly site updates and clear communication.
Certification, VBA compliance and council documentation
We document the job with photos, logs and compliance certificates. You receive VBA‑ready paperwork for council and your records.
At handover we brief you and explain any maintenance or monitoring that may be needed. We never upsell; we protect homeowners with insured, documented processes.
- Free assessment: start with a no‑obligation review.
- Coordinated reports: engineering and permits handled for you.
- Clear handover: certified paperwork and practical advice.
