Steel Screw Piles for Modular Buildings – Supporting Transportable Structures

16 Jan 2017

Screw piers with adjustable caps ready to support transportable buildings

At Ideal Foundations, we specialise in steel screw piels for modular buildings, ensuring strong and reliable foundation support for transportable structures. We are currently halfway through installing 1,200 above-ground screw piers for a large-scale modular admin building project in Wellington, NSW.

1. Providing Stability for Transportable Admin Buildings

This project plays a key role in the construction of new administrative buildings supporting the development of a new correctional facility. The screw piles are designed to accommodate reactive soil conditions, ensuring long-term stability. On average, each pier is installed to a depth of 3.75 metres, effectively managing soil movement risks.

The installation process, spanning from December 2016 to February 2017, demonstrates the efficiency and reliability of screw piling for modular construction.

2. Why Use Steel Screw Piles for Modular Buildings?

Modular and transportable buildings require strong, stable, and efficient foundation solutions that can support various soil conditions while allowing for quick and flexible installation. Steel screw piles are the preferred choice for these structures due to their durability, adaptability, and ease of installation.

  • Fast and efficient installation – No waiting for concrete to cure.
  • Ideal for reactive soils – Screw piles prevent shifting and settlement.
  • Adjustable caps for flexibility – Allows easy alignment for transportable buildings.
  • Minimal site disruption – No extensive excavation required.

3. Collaboration with Industry Leaders

We are grateful for the opportunity to support Modular Building Systems (MBS) in delivering a stable and secure foundation for their transportable structures. A project of this scale makes our steel screw piers protruding from the ground resemble an army of steel soldiers—at least, that’s how we see it!

Additionally, working with Hansen & Yuncken on a well-planned construction site has been a pleasure, ensuring smooth execution of the project.

4. Need Reliable Foundations for Modular Buildings?

If you’re looking for cost-effective, durable, and fast foundation solutions, our steel screw piers for modular buildings provide the perfect support for transportable structures, modular homes, and commercial projects.
