Screw Piles

The benefit of using FLI screw piles on a site is that they are quick and easy to install. There are no excavations needed, therefore there is no spoil to cart away. This makes it particularly helpful if the ground is contaminated or is soft and hence a concrete pad footing is unsuitable. Screw Piles are an all steel – sustainable foundation solution, making them fully recyclable. They can easily be removed and re-used if needed. Overall, using screw piles creates a far more time and cost effective solution for foundations. FLI have successfully designed and manufactured screw pile foundation solutions for a vast array of structures. The screw pile foundations have been widely used by significant companies, such as Network Rail and The Highways Agency throughout many of their projects. Tony Parker, Sales Manager at FLI comments “Our success is based on understanding and solving site problems efficiently, and providing safe solutions for our installers. With a strong focus on innovation, we are able to supply foundation solutions to support a wide range of structures in Telecoms, Railway, Highways and Renewable markets. We take experience from each site and use this knowledge to continue to lead the way in the Screw Pile foundations sector”. FLI’s success in pioneering foundation solutions has been recognised by Network Rail and Birse Rail, who have both presented FLI with their Product Innovation Awards.
