We make sure that material certificates are available if needed for the screw piles you purchase. This ensures that your piles are made from exactly the material indicated by the manufacturer and not, for example, from a weaker grade of steel.
Load and Measuring Guides
Reliable load tables should be available for the piles you intend to use, according to pile type. If necessary, the manufacturer must be able to provide guidance in measuring your screw pile requirements.
UK Made
There are Asian-made imported screw piles on the market, but the material and manufacturing quality of these products often does not come anywhere near the level of domestic screw piles we sell at UK Helix.
