Foundation Piling:
Screw Piles vs. Hydraulic Piles
Screw Piles
Best for Smaller Projects
While screw piles may initially appear more cost-effective, it’s important to understand their specific applications. Screw piles are effective for stabilizing smaller structures like sheds, sunrooms, or galleries, but they lack the load-bearing capacity to support an entire concrete home foundation.
The specialized equipment used to install screw piles can only drive them to a certain depth. Additionally, due to the helical design, screw piles must be placed further from the foundation, which can lead to an uneven load distribution if the foundation weight is too high.
Screw piles are more economical, but should be reserved for smaller-scale projects.
Hydraulic Piles :
The Optimal Foundation Solution
While more costly upfront, hydraulic piles are the superior solution for concrete foundation piling. Driven deep into the ground under the weight of the building until refusal is met, they are ideal for stabilizing a structure’s foundations.
Additionally, as they are more robust, fewer hydraulic piles are required to complete the work. To correct a persistent concrete foundation settlement in a durable manner, hydraulic piles are the most effective solution on the market. They will provide superior stability to your building, all while requiring minimal workspace and generating no noise or vibration during installation.
Alerte Fissure specializes in hydraulic piling services to deliver these benefits.
