Screw pile
Pile in which the pile or pile tube comprises a limited number of helices at its base and which is
installed under the combined action of a torque and a vertical thrust. By the screwing-in and/or by
the screwing-out, the ground is essentially laterally displaced and no soil is removed.

Screwsolpile
Screw pile developed and patented by Soletanche Bachy: screw + sol.
To the drilling head a special cutter is applied in such way that the already dense soil is printed
with spirals, which after concreting become concrete threads. Therefore the pile shape is
threaded identified by two diameters: of the pile body and of the outer shaft.
Used diameters (Dbody / Dspirals):
Drilling length:
max. 20.0 m
foundation ground refusal criteria
Execution steps
Technology based on the Continuous Flight Auger drilling.
Drilling / screwing-in:
Concreting / screwing-out:
Bearing capacity
Shaft and toe resistance increased by:
-
contact surface between the pile and soil increased by the threads
Quality control
Real time monitoring of the drilling and concreting parameters:
-
verticality
drilling depth
penetration speed
rotation
torque
concrete pressure
concreting speed
real concrete quantity
concrete overconsumption
verticality
icons
automatic extraction
Advantages
- rapidity: 5 15 minutes / pile
250 .. 300 lm / shift reinforced piles
450 .. 550 lm / shift rigid inclusions
- pile integrity and quality control
- enhanced bearing capacity / reducing pile
length diameter
- reduced concrete quantity
- minimized spoil / ecological friendly in
polluted soils
- reduced overall costs
