Screw Piles for Modular Building Foundations – Real site story from Braidwood & Harden NSW

03 Dec 2020

Modular construction has transformed the building industry. It offers faster, more cost-effective, and efficient solutions for a wide range of projects. At IdealCorp, we provide screw piles that play a crucial role in securing modular buildings to the ground, even under challenging conditions.

Recently, IdealCorp partnered with Modular Building Systems (MBS) and Richard Crookes for two Health Service projects in Braidwood and Harden, NSW. Despite adverse weather, our dedicated team successfully installed screw piles for raised pier foundations. This ensured the projects stayed on schedule and maintained high-quality standards.

Benefits of Screw Piles for Modular Buildings

Unpredictable weather during installation showcased the advantages of screw piles over traditional concrete foundations. Screw piles allowed efficient installation of raised piers with adjustable caps, eliminating delays caused by concrete curing.

After installing the screw piles, the team adjusted the bearer plates to the correct height. MBS then craned the modular buildings onto the piers. Minor adjustments followed, and the project progressed seamlessly, highlighting the adaptability of screw pile foundations.

Growing Demand for Modular Building Solutions

The modular building industry in Australia is growing rapidly. Faster project completion times and uncompromised quality drive this expansion. Various sectors, including education, aged care, government, prisons, commercial developments, and residential homes, are adopting modular construction due to its benefits:

• Faster Build Times: Off-site construction reduces on-site labour and project timelines.
• Cost Efficiency: Controlled environments ensure predictable budgets and minimise waste.
• Quality Control: Standardised processes guarantee consistent results.
• Environmental Benefits: Reduced spoil removal and minimal site disruption.
