Screw piling offers significant benefit over both traditional concrete foundations and other piled solutions. This ICE South West Lunch & Learn webinar will cover a range of areas relating to screw piling, starting off with the principles of the technology and discussing how they resist a variety of loading. The key advantages of screw piles will be explored, including the sustainability, speed and simplicity benefits.
Hamish Norman from FLI Structures will take an in depth look at the theory and design methods to provide insight into how designers determine the required pile specification. Part of this will cover the relationship between installation torque and pile capacity as a useful verification method for the design. Installation methods will also be discussed, covering types of plant and the torque motors used to install screw piles.
Finally, Hamish will look at the wide-ranging applications of screw piles with examples from FLI about how they can be used to add value to a system design.
