Faster Construction with Screw Piles – A Cost-Effective Solution in Oran Park

13 Nov 2017

The rapid development of Oran Park has transformed the area into a thriving residential precinct. However, with tighter estate layouts and limited on-site space, foundation work presents unique challenges for builders. One major issue is the cost and logistics of soil removal when using traditional concrete piers.

At Ideal Foundations, we specialize in faster construction with screw piles, offering builders cost-efficient and time-saving foundation solutions.

1. Optimising Foundations for a 22-Unit Project

Recently, our team assisted a large builder/developer in redesigning the foundation plan for a 22-unit project in Oran Park. The original design called for 500 concrete piers, which would have required extensive soil removal—an expensive and time-consuming process.

By switching to Ideal screw piles, the builder was able to:

• Reduce soil removal costs significantly.
• Eliminate excavation delays and site disruptions.
• Speed up the construction schedule, allowing for earlier slab pouring.

2. Faster Installation, Minimal Disruption

One of the biggest advantages of screw piles is their quick and efficient installation. The Ideal Foundations team successfully installed all 500 screw piles in just five days, keeping the project well ahead of schedule. With no need for excessive excavation, work continued smoothly without interrupting other trades on-site.

3. Why Choose Screw Piles for Faster Construction?

When it comes to efficient foundation solutions, screw piles offer a range of benefits that significantly improve construction speed and reduce overall costs.

• Rapid installation – Unlike concrete piers, screw piles require no curing time, allowing construction to proceed immediately. This speeds up project timelines and keeps builders on schedule.
• Less soil removal – Screw piles minimise excavation, reducing soil removal costs, tipping fees, and truck movements. This makes site logistics easier and more cost-effective.
• Minimal site disruption – Installed with compact equipment, screw piles are ideal for restricted sites, urban developments, and areas with existing structures. They also produce less noise and vibration, making them suitable for sensitive locations.
• Stronger and more reliable foundations – Designed for long-term stability, screw piles perform well in soft soils, clay-heavy sites, and acid sulphate conditions. Their modular design allows for deeper installation if required, ensuring durability.
