Overcoming Difficult Access with Screw Piling

Many of our projects involve issues with access which makes them unsuitable or not cost effective to use traditional groundwork methods.

At Ultimate Screw Piling we have overcome these issues by designing and fabricating a specialist torque head specifically to fit a smaller micro digger.

It means we can squeeze into tighter restricted widths and drive our micro machine into this areas easily.

The use of a micro machine over hand installation for us is by far the safest on site installation option and where possible we will always instruct our team to use a micro machine with our custom torque head to install our screw piles.

This project involved USP being contracted to install screw piles for our client in Blandford, Dorset.

Once the first screw pile is installed, where possible, we will use an anchor chain attached to the first pile to help with the rotation of the machine arm to offer additional support and stability.

We are then able to minimise any twisting of the machine if we are trying to achieve a high torque pressure.

Most of our internal screw piling is done using our newsmaller thickness piles, that have a thinner shaft diameter of 50mm and a shorter shaft length of 1000mm. This offers us greater variables of installation.

A great example of our finished screw pile installation.

This project in london had an access width of 750mm and the client was installing a garden room in the rear of the property.
