SERVICES

From design through to installation, training and equipment hire, find out more about our range of screw pile support services below:

Design & Installation
Verification

Using hydraulics, small & medium sized plant machinery will install screw piles to carry loads up to 500kN SWL (made to order 168mm CHS screw piles). A torque motor rotates the CHS shaft, and the lead section is then pulled into the ground by the ‘screw’ action of the helical plates, without creating spoil. Extensions are added until the correct depth is achieved for the designed load-bearing capacity. Each screw pile is designed using individual plate-bearing theory for the helices, with load capacity calculated using standard end-bearing equations. This load-bearing capacity is verified by monitoring the installation torque as the pile is driven into the ground. The measured torque is directly proportional to the load-bearing capacity of the pile, based on empirical torque correlations observed over a 50 year period.

Design
Services

Through our partners, we are able to supply the UK’s leading torque motors for screw pile installation, which are available for hire if preferred. We can also arrange comprehensive installation training. geoLogic screw piles only require lightweight installation plants, and can operate on soft terrain without the need for piling mats. Geologic Foundations extensive stock of plant, ready for immediate call off, ensures your plant hire requirements will always be met.

Installation
Services

Geologic Foundations can provide full installation services for a variety of groundwork projects from small to large, across a wide range of building construction types. From new house builds to extensions, commercial/industrial foundations and mezzanines, to rail, pipeline and highway infrastructure, we can tackle any type of screw pile installations.

Installation
Training

At Geologic Foundations if you have preferred groundworks contractors or your own workforce, we can provide you with comprehensive training for screw pile installation, which typically requires one day on site. Each screw pile installation team (2 to 3 operatives) will only require one day of installation training, this can be arranged to be on the first job. Your operatives will also need to have necessary health & site safety accreditation (e.g. CSCS cards) and at least one of the team will need a ticket to drive the excavator.

We offer training on both the theory behind the screw piling system as well as practical installation of screw piles. Our training offered meets strict standards and quality benchmarks, demonstrating our continued commitment to education within the construction industry. Our installer training is focused on ensuring that everyone who leaves after the course understands the process of installation for our helical piers. We want foundation engineers to have a broad understanding of our products, so we designed our installer training to be as comprehensive as possible. This will allow you the ability to be confident that you know what you are doing as soon as you leave the course.

Plant-Torque
Motor Sales & Hire

Through our partners, we are able to supply the UK’s leading torque motors for screw pile installation, which are available for hire if preferred. We can also arrange comprehensive installation training. geoLogic screw piles only require lightweight installation plants, and can operate on soft terrain without the need for piling mats. Our extensive stock of plant, ready for immediate call off, ensures your plant hire requirements will always be met.
