Screw Piles / Helical Piles – Lead Sections
Screw piles, also known as helical piles, use lead sections as the initial segment driven into the ground. These sections feature helical plates that help screw the pile into the soil. The lead section sets the path for subsequent extensions and ensures stability. Lead sections are essential for deep foundation systems, providing strong support for various structures.
Screw Piles / Helical Piles – Extension
These extensions are connected to the lead section and to each other, allowing the pile to be driven deeper into the ground as needed. Extensions typically have the same diameter as the lead section but may or may not include helical plates, depending on the soil conditions and load requirements. They ensure that the pile can reach deeper, stronger soil layers or bedrock, providing the necessary support for the structure.
Flighted Extension
A flighted extension in screw piles includes additional helical plates, like those on the lead section, to enhance load-bearing capacity as the pile is driven deeper. These extensions are added when more soil resistance or deeper penetration is required. The helices on the flighted extension help to further anchor the pile and distribute the load more effectively.
Underpinning Brackets
Underpinning brackets are structural supports used to stabilize. These brackets are attached to the foundation and connected to screw piles or other deep foundation elements. They help to lift, level, and support the structure, preventing further settlement or movement. They provide a reliable solution for restoring structural integrity.
Fabricated Manhole Covers
Fabricated manhole covers are custom-made, heavy-duty covers designed to secure access points to underground utilities like sewers and drainage systems. Made from materials such as steel or cast iron, they are built to withstand heavy loads and harsh conditions. These covers can be tailored in size, shape, and load-bearing capacity to meet specific project requirements.
