When planning a building project, the foundation is one of the most critical decisions — and it’s often where the biggest environmental impact happens. Traditional concrete foundations are resource-intensive and can disrupt ecosystems, but there’s a greener, more efficient alternative: screw piles.
At ABC Anchors, we specialise in high-quality screw piles that not only provide solid support but also minimise environmental impact. Here are five reasons why screw piles are the ultimate eco-friendly foundation solution:
1. Minimal Ground Disturbance
Screw piles are installed by rotating them into the ground, much like a giant screw. This process requires no excavation, meaning there’s minimal disruption to soil structure, tree roots, and surrounding landscapes. It’s an ideal choice for sensitive areas, including root protection zones and sloped sites.
2. Reduced Carbon Footprint
Concrete production is a major contributor to global carbon emissions. By choosing screw piles, you can significantly cut down on the use of concrete — or avoid it altogether. Our galvanised steel piles offer long-lasting durability with a fraction of the carbon footprint.
3. Reusability and Flexibility
Screw piles aren’t just a one-time use solution. They can be removed and reused if the building needs relocating or if the site use changes. This makes them perfect for temporary structures or modular buildings and aligns with circular economy principles.
4. Quick and Clean Installation
No digging means less mess. Screw piles can be installed in almost any weather, without waiting for concrete to cure. Using hand-held or mini digger equipment, most installations are completed within 1-2 days, reducing site impact and noise pollution.
5. Long-Term Durability with Sustainable Materials
With a life expectancy of over 100 years, ABC Anchors’ screw piles offer longevity without compromising on environmental standards. The galvanised coating ensures resistance to corrosion, even in challenging soil conditions.
