Decking

Helical screw piles are ideal for deck construction and renovation because their strength and durability provide stable, long-term support for decks. They can be installed in just a few hours, with no concrete pouring or drying time. Because it is installed with lightweight equipment, it has little or no impact on the landscape around the property and is ideal for backyards where space is limited. With our help screw piles will support the foundation of your deck for years to come.
Finally, don’t forget that screw pile foundations are much more economical than traditional concrete foundations. This is another advantage that should not be overlooked!

Extentions

When you build an extention to your home, you usually intend to live in it for many years. Therefore, ensuring the solidity and stability of the extention is critical to the success of the project. GoliathTech Helical (screw) Piles are the ideal solution to ensure that the foundation of your home extention is rock solid and will support your project for years to come. Our quick installation process, carried out with light and compact equipment, allows you to avoid excavation and begin building as soon as the installation of the helical (screw) piles is complete.

Foundations

A movement-free solution that will save you money! 
When it comes to establishing a foundation for a large structure like a home, concrete piles simply can’t compete with the technological superiority and ease of installation offered by helical (screw) piles. Known for their stability and strength, our screw piles can be attached to a reinforcement grid before the concrete is poured. They are driven as deep as necessary to support the structure, resist cracking, and ensure the long-term stability of your home.

Underpinning

Did you know that reinforcing the foundation of a structure, like that of a home, can save you thousands of pounds, compared to replacing the entire foundation? Strengthening becomes necessary when the foundation can no longer support the load of the structure resting on it. With our superior anchoring system, it is possible to stabilize or raise a sagging or unstable structure. To do this, GoliathTech helical (screw) piles are driven deep underneath the existing structure until they reach dense, compact, and firm soil. This way, the foundation will be solidified, strengthening the building structure for the future.

If you are planning to install a charging station for your electric or hybrid vehicle, choose GoliathTech galvanized steel screw piles for the foundation. 
With the ability to be installed in approximately 10 minutes, a helical pile is the ideal foundation for anchoring an electric charging station. It also has a minimal impact on it’s surrounding landscape or structures, and is removable and reusable. 
How many screw piles do you need for the installation of electric charging stations? Just 1 per charging station! No concrete slabs needed.

Steps 2 and 3 is where the helical pile installation occurs

Step 1 500x375

Step 1

Planning your project

First and foremost, it is essential to determine the nature of your project and the contractor who will build it, as well as the various needs associated with it. Evaluate the time, budget, and space available to you so that you can pass this information on to one of our certified installers, when the time comes.

Step 2 500x375

Step 2

Consultation and estimate

Our certified installers are waiting for your call! With the help of precise calculations and an analysis of the type of soil and the load to be supported, they will be able to provide you with an estimate of the cost of the product and will design a solution tailored to your needs.

Step 3 500x375

Step 3

Installation

The big day has finally arrived. The screw piles will be screwed in as deeply as possible. It’s likely that during the installation, some technical details will need to be adjusted, such as the length of the piles or the size of the helices. Our experts know how to react quickly in order to ensure the absolute stability of your foundation.

Step 4 500x375

Step 4

Ready for construction

There’s no delay or clean-up required between the end of the helical (screw) pile installation and the start of construction. As soon as the last screw pile is anchored into the ground, your contractor can start building your project.

| Frequently Asked Questions

A helical screw pile, also known as a helical pile, functions much like a large screw driven into the ground below the frost line using equipment fitted with a hydraulic motor. This method provides a solid foundation by anchoring the pile firmly in place.

To visualize it, think of an ordinary screw being driven into a two-by-four or four-by-four board—the concept is quite similar. A screw pile is composed of three main components: the shaft, the helix, and the attachment or pile head. For accurate measurements of a screw pile’s capacity, including its tension and compression capabilities, the helix must be properly formed. This helix serves as a powerful anchoring mechanism, enabling the pile to resist external forces such as wind, earthquakes, and structural loads. In this way, helical piles ensure the stability and longevity of the structures they support.

Despite common misconceptions, helical piles offer an economical solution for long-term use. The overall expense, however, depends on several variables. These include the type of structure being supported, the soil conditions, how deep the piles need to be installed, and how easily workers can access the construction site. For more detailed information, please contact GoliathTech Central London.

The load-bearing capacity of each helical pile is determined during installation, as it varies based on soil conditions. Generally, denser soil allows for greater support. The pile’s capacity (in terms of compression or tension) is verified as it’s installed, meeting GoliathTech’s quality standards. For certain projects, an engineer may provide certification to confirm the work’s compliance with requirements.

  • Minimal impact to the landscape
  • No waiting time
  • Perfectly level structure
  • No delays between the end of the installation and the beginning of work
  • Ideal for restricted spaces
  • Possible no matter the season
  • Removable and reusable system

Yes! Helical piles need to be installed near the structure they’re supporting. For existing structures, access points are required to install piles in central areas. For instance, when working on a wooden deck, removing some boards is advisable to reach otherwise inaccessible spots for pile installation.
