Building in a remote location comes with unique challenges—harsh coastal conditions, logistical difficulties, and tight construction timelines. When the RETHINK PREFAB team set out to build a tiny home on Cocos Keeling Island, they needed a foundation that was fast, reliable, and built to withstand extreme environments.
Ideal Foundations supplied precision-engineered Stainless Steel Screw Piles, designed for corrosion resistance, strength, and fast installation. With these footings, the construction team was able to complete the entire build in just 10 days, proving that remote construction doesn’t have to mean delays.
Cocos Keeling Island’s high salinity and remote location made traditional foundations impractical. Screw piles provided a more efficient and durable alternative, custom-engineered to suit the unique site conditions. Made from corrosion-resistant Stainless Steel Screw Piles, these piles offer long-term durability, even in the harshest coastal environments.
Speed was another crucial factor. With limited time on-site, the ability to install the screw piles and begin construction immediately was a game-changer. Unlike conventional foundations that require extensive excavation and curing time, Ideal screw piles were installed and ready for building on the same day, keeping the project on track.
As modular and off-grid living continue to grow in popularity, builders are turning to screw piles as a faster, more sustainable foundation solution. They offer a strong, stable base with minimal environmental impact, making them ideal for tiny homes, prefab structures, and remote builds.
For this project, Ideal screw piles provided the strength, durability, and efficiency needed to complete the tiny home within just 10 days, despite the remote island conditions.
At Ideal Foundations, we specialise in precision-engineered screw piles that help builders take control of their projects, no matter how remote or challenging. Whether it’s a tiny home, modular build, or large-scale project, our foundation solutions ensure speed, strength, and long-term stability.
