Advantages of a Screw Pile Foundation
Fast installation
Screw piles are a lot quicker to install than concrete piers. They are also a one-step solution requiring significantly less plant resulting in a far reduced impact on the building site and local infrastructure. Unlike concrete piers, screw piles can be installed in inclement weather. If you are installing screw piles now or have the plant and equipment required to install them, we’d love the opportunity to work with you. We offer a complete design and certification service for our valued distributor customer base.
Easy installation
Standard earthmoving equipment fitted with hydraulic powerheads makes the job simple and efficient.
Exceptional strength
Solid Metal Piling uses higher tensile strength steel, which means we can apply greater torsional forces to the piles and therefore generate significantly higher structural loads.
Reduced carbon footprint
Transporting and installing steel piles requires less energy, plant and equipment than concrete piers. Heavy trucks required to transport the soil from the pier holes are not required. At the end of the building’s life, piles can simply be unscrewed and the steel recycled.
Cost-effective
No concrete pump or skid steer hire required, no spoil is generated to be removed from your site and to pay to be dumped.
AS2870
Has your project been specified with concrete piers?
Not a problem – you can still switch to our superior system without re-engineering! Leading engineers across NSW are familiar with our patented product and will approve our AS2870-compliant pile alternative.

The Screw Piling Process
The seamless Solid Metal Piling experience is part of what gives us the edge.
In-house engineers and estimators examine your design and geotechnical needs. When appropriate, they call on the SMP database of 4,500+ successful jobs to help inform blade and screw pile sizes and depths.
Qualified and licenced installers measure and record torque readings for every single pile as it is installed. They enter the data into SMP’s operating software and sign a statutory declaration confirming its accuracy.
Data verifies that each pile has met the specified loading. This is not a visual inspection - it relies on results from the torque generated during the installation.
We’re the first in our industry to issue a same-day report detailing pile location, depth, and total metres installation.
Within 5-10 days you will receive a third-party engineering certificate confirming the piles’ structural integrity.
You now have complete peace of mind that you can pour the slab and get this building project underway.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of our most asked questions regarding our processes and the Blade Pile system.
Blade Pile utilise a unique helical blade configuration that screws into the ground, providing superior anchoring and load distribution capabilities. This innovative design ensures excellent performance in diverse soil conditions and minimises the need for extensive excavation or concrete works.
Blade Pile offers several advantages, such as rapid installation, reduced environmental impact, increased load resistance, and improved structural integrity. It also allows for easy adaptability to site-specific requirements and can be installed in tight spaces or areas with limited access.
Blade Pile is suitable for a wide range of applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial construction. It is commonly used for foundation support, retaining walls, slope stabilisation, wind turbine foundations, and other projects that require efficient and reliable ground anchoring solutions.
